I was glad to see some American vehicles on this list:

Kelley Blue Book, www.kbb.com, the leading provider of new car and used car information, today announces the expert editors of Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com name their 2009 picks for the Top 10 Green Cars. In an all-new story posted to KBB(R) Green, the kbb.com editors list a variety of fuel-efficient vehicles worthy of buyers' consideration. The coverage includes detailed EPA-estimated fuel economy numbers and editorial commentary on why each particular model made this year's list.

On last year's inaugural Top 10 Green Cars list, the kbb.com editors cited skyrocketing gas prices, a weak economy and growing environmental consciousness as the major reasons more car buyers were focusing on fuel economy. As we approach Earth Day 2009, gas prices have come back to Earth but the shaky economy is trumping most other concerns and causes, resulting in far fewer car buyers.

1. My Smart

Is not green, Just great fuel mileage and built using the most green manufacturing plant and processes.

Who knew.

2. I have seen those

They are cute. But I could never buy one. I have a small kid and need a back seat.

On edit: I don't think KBB was implying that cars not on its list cannot also be "green." That's just their top 10. The Smart is pretty much a niche vehicle.
