Yep, Green Car Journal’s 2008 Green Car of the Year. Go figure. And googleing that, I found they also got two environmental awards from the Canadian Automobile Association. It also won an Engine of the Year award. "Focusing on engines that improve fuel economy without compromising performance," Huh? Sticking a battery and and electric motor on the drive train doesn't make it a new engine.

Either these editors are moron's, or GM is greasing some pockets.
