At the Los Angeles International Auto Show today, Green Car Journal named the new Audi A3 2.0 TDI their Green Car of the Year for 2010.

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.

Of course they liked it more, it has more stuff. It costs more but this is the first real entry level luxury economy car. I think that's a pretty signficant milestone.
