The sub-award of the yearly World Car of the Year (WCOTY), the World Green Car of the Year award, is given out by a devoted organization and selected by a group of journalist judges from all over the world.

Started with the award of the Honda Civic Hybrid in 2006, the cars qualified for the 2009 Green WCOTY award have been named of late.

Barely a month ago at the LA Auto Show, the Green Car of the Year of Green Car Journal was voted, with the Volkswagen Jetta TDI garnering the award, the very first time a diesel has pinched the honor from a hybrid. There have already been two diesel winners of the Green WCOTY award: the Mercedes-Benz E320 BlueTec and the BMW 118d with EfficientDynamics succeeding in 2007 and 2008, in that order.

The only car from the US that should be allowed to be nominated is the Fusion as it had the hybrid option vehicle available the same time as the gas option unlike every other car made in the US.

Nope the gas model was out around 6 or so years before it. It was when the big 3 laughed at toyota for investing in hybrid technology and look how much the tables have turned.
