Big cars will never be as green as the best small cars but some big cars are greener than others.
If you really need the space and comfort of a larger vehicle, choose one of these and at least you'll limit the damage a bit.

To investigate alterantive means of propulsion is good. To charge the consumer premium prices for these vehicles over and above what we are accustomed to is merely making the consumer fund R&D. If manufacturers, and I mean corporate shareholders, are really serious about offering eco friendly vehicles, let them pay for their own R&D. It's enough that motor vehicles are prohibitively expensive, but to move the cost of development to the consumer is adding insult to injury. Look at the state GM is in! Who will bale them out of their mess? The consumer, of course! It is time that the consumer votes with his/her wallet. We don't have to buy the latest model, we don't have to keep up with the Jones's, we don't have to pose as affluent. What's the real point. I don't give a continental that my neighbour might have more money in the bank! Is he a better person? Mony doesn't buy decency.
What we need is an awareness campaign so that the consumer is sufficiently well informed. In the meantime I'm happy to drive my gas gauzzling little 1974 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0 lit. GT, that I love to bits, and be able to give car manufactureres the one finger salute!!!.
If you want my support, show me some credible facts. I'm still happy driving my Alfa Romeo. I have 4 of them! Why would I buy a new car, which is the same price as a house? I would buy another house and invest in property, not in auto R&D!!!!
