Whatever comes in the world ,cars not gonna stop or withdraw from human life.If there is no enough gasoline in the world for all who cares...Newer technologies with other substitutes comes to play.I am talking about the upcoming release of the 2009 model Honda Civic Hybrid.Hybrid itself makes it to the category of green cars.

The most astounding facility of the 2009 model is that it comes with the GPS navigation System.Why not in Civic ,says Honda....

Volkswagen's Jetta TDI-the green car of the year

Volkswagen's Jetta TDI is considered to be the new green car of the year 2009.It got all new facilities and the green features that one car could ever get at this point of time.




The 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI is the latest evolution of VW’s 30-plus years of diesel investment in the North American automotive market. This car is clean enough to meet the most stringent and hard current emissions standards, allowing sale in all 50 U.S. states, including those adopting California clean air standards. And modern clean diesel engines are easy to operate and live with, quiet, and smooth and are mostly adorable.



Fuel economy will be the primary motivation or key feature one looking into when buying a Jetta TDI. EPA estimates are 30 mpg city and 41 mpg highway with the manual transmission. Independent third party testing by AMCI found real world economy to be 24 percent higher, delivering 38 mpg in the city and 44 mpg on the highway.



The 2.0 liter TDI produces 140 horsepower at 4,000 rpm and more importantly, 236 lbs-ft of torque that’s available from just 1,750 rpm.
With the five-speed manual, the Jetta posts a 0-60 mph time of 8.2 seconds. The six-speed DSG automatic transmission with Tipronic and Sport mode will hit 60 mph in 8.5 seconds.




Jetta TDI is able to meet 50 states emissions without the added complexity of AdBlue urea injection in the exhaust system to neutralize NOx emissions. Advanced catalytic converter technology, a NOx catalyst that temporarily stores NOx emissions and then burns them off , and a diesel particulate filter allow the Jetta TDI to meet the most stringent Tier 2 – Bin 5 emissions standard. The 2.0 liter can operate on B5 biodiesel without complaint.

The car comes out with a reasonable price of $21,990, which can be considered a good choice for a new car.Obviously it got good resale value.The Jetta comes with the TDI engine which costs around $1,300 .

Ford Focus ECOnetic 1.6 TDCi Duratorq Diesel

Ford Focus ECOnetic 1.6 TDCi Duratorq Diesel can be considered as the no.1 green car of this year.This is not entirely a green car as it suggests.But it gives us a trend into the green convergence from the makers like Ford.

The Focus is the first model in the diesel ECOnetic range, the name Ford has given to its new range of low CO2 models that will be rolled out to the Mondeo later this year and the Fiesta in 2009.The Focus has CO2 emissions of only 115g/km (65.6mpg on a combined test) and, with a diesel particulate filter fitted as standard on the 110PS engine, a WGC? rating of only 33.The engineering behind ECOnetic includes a recalibrated engine management system, and an improved aero-profile (the car is almost 1 cm closer to the ground compared with a regular Focus). Together with a lower grille and new front bumper skirt, a rear spoiler and slimmer low rolling resistance tyres, the aerodynamic drag coefficient is reduced to 0.31.In conjunction with EcoBoost that combines petrol direct injection and turbo-charging technology to improve vehicle fuel economy, the ECOnetic range is part of Ford's response to growing demand for more fuel efficient models.Interestingly the emissions improvements are achieved without fitting longer gear ratios (as adopted by the VW BlueMotion and BMW EfficientDynamics models). The results of these changes for the Focus ECOnetic 109PS is CO2 emissions of only 115g/km (65.6mpg on a combined test cycle) and a WGC? rating lower than the bench-mark Prius hybrid.


Priced from £16,545 (about £250 above the Style model with the same engine).Although it's worse for local air pollution, it actually beats the Prius for real-world miles per gallon. Meanwhile, the driving experience is smooth and the interior is quality.Let us hope more from all the car makers in a better wawy to help something about our environment and the nature.

Tesla Roadster

You will be heard about the 'Tesla Roadster' the electric car.I have posted about it before also.Now I would like to give a little more details to it.Some of the important features of the car as given by the Tesla motors are as follows

• 100% electric
• 0 to 60 mph in 3.9s
• 13000 rpm redline
• 256 mpg equivalent
• 220 miles per charge
• less than 2c per mile

You people will be surprised to see the advanced design and superior look of Roadster which has the capacity to challenge Ferrari even.Though it looks similar to the conventional gasoline fueled cars it has many advantages of being an electric car.

The Roadster is not bad in the power as well as acceleration.It can even be used as the sports car.The long battery life of 220 miles without chargging makes it superior to any of its contemporaries. The torque and the power curve is given in the chart shown below.
