Top 5 Green Minivans for 2008

by GreenCar.com
Minivans have proven their worth over many years. While often overshadowed by the style and popularity of SUV's and the latest crossover vehicles, the venerable minivan is a family staple when it comes to safety, functionality, convenience, and value. Seating configurations are versatile and legendary. Seats come out, go back in, fold down, and some even turn around as needed. You can make room for cargo or in many cases carry six to seven occupants. Front bucket seats often allow parents easy access to kids sitting in the middle and rear seats. You just can’t get that kind of versatility from most other vehicles.
While it’s true that hybrid minivans are not on the scene yet, that will change as automakers continue to roll out new hybrid products. That doesn’t mean you can’t think “green” now when opting for a family-friendly minivan at the new car showroom. Like all models, there are some minivans that just stand out as more fuel efficient and “greener” than their peers. The top 5 are: #1 Mazda5; #2 Honda Odyssey; #3 Chrysler Town and Country / Dodge Grand Caravan; #4 Toyota Sienna; #5 Nissan Quest. Read more about there HERE.
