"Each year both the quantity and quality of 'green' cars is improving, offering a growing number of choices for environmentally friendly buyers at a wider range of prices," said Jack Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com, in a recent statement. "The all-new BMW i3 is our top pick this year. Built at an ecologically friendly plant, the i3 is offered in all-electric and gasoline-assisted range-extender versions, and it features an ultra-light carbon-fiber body to help squeeze maximum range from its battery pack. Its interior boasts plenty of recycled materials and door panels formed from visible natural fibers."
