This surprised me as the 2009 VW Jetta TDI was Green Car of the Year in 2009 and this car is so similiar that I would have thought they would choose something else. I guess TDIs are just that good!

Look at the list of judges:
Dr. Alan Lloyd, president of the International Council on Clean Transportation; Carl Pope, executive director of the Sierra Club; Jean-Michel Cousteau, president of Ocean Futures Society; Matt Petersen, president of Global Green USA; automotive expert and television host Jay Leno; and automotive icon Carroll Shelby.
Interesting that they like it more than the Golf.

And the accolades keep coming -- the Detroit News today named the A3 TDI its Car of the Year.
