Spark Up to Save the Planet

Though not an actual hybrid, the upcoming Chevy Spark is a real green car at heart. Chevy plans two models for the Spark, one full electric and one little gas burner. And if you think about it, the average of the two models equals a hybrid, so it works here. Plus, the gas version gets a combined mileage of over 46 mpg, which pretty much qualifies it as the afore-mentioned green car. Expect it to cost around 10 grand when it hits North America in 2011.
