It only had to beat out the Saturn Vue Greenline. It was not competing against all the other hybrids in the world - it's obviously not the "cleanest greenest of them all" but that was not the competition. And it's their "inaugural" award too, which means they are new at awarding "cars of the year." Cut 'em some slack !!

When John Kerry, Hillary and Obama give up their Suburbans I may consider a smaller car. Never a Fit or Yaris size car though. I am too selfish to ever squeeze into one of those little death traps.
