L.A. Auto Show: 2010 Audi A3 TDI Earns Green Car Of The Year

The 2010 Audi A3 TDI has been dubbed Green Car of the Year, making it the second time in a row that a clean diesel vehicle has taken the honor. (Last year's winner? The 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI.) Ron Cogan -- editor of Green Car Journal, which presented the award yesterday at the L.A. Auto Show -- pointed out that although there are a number of hybrids and EVs on the market and in the works, the A3 best answers the question, "What about our needs [for fuel efficient cars] now?" The 2010 Audi A3 TDI runs $30,775 in the U.S., and it scored a solid 8 on the TCC review scale -- just in case you're curious. [GreenCarReports]
