July 31st, 2007
Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who’s the greenest of them all? The new Polo Blue Motion, that’s who. Ok I’m done with that. Check out the article from scotsman.com
A DIESEL car has beaten the world’s best-selling hybrid vehicle, the Toyota Prius, to the top spot in a new government guide to greener motoring.
A new model of the Volkswagen Polo, which will be available in Britain in October, produces just 99 grams of carbon dioxide () per kilometre - five grammes fewer than the petrol-electric hybrid, Prius.
The Prius has become synonymous with environmentally minded celebrities, such as Leonardo DiCaprio, but the new Polo Blue Motion could prove even greener for some drivers.
