Certainly they pollute less than many of the models that made it into this "premium" model list. Hybrid placement is a joke. Where is the Acura TSX and TL?

The ranking should be: 1. Audi TT, Carbon Footprint: 7.1 annual tons 2. Audi A3, 7.3 2. Lexus RX400h, 7.3 3. Audi A4 2.0T, 7.7 3. Lexus IS 250, 7.7 4. Lexus LS 600h L, 8.7 2. Lexus GS 450h, 8.0 If you are a mostly highway driver there is absolutely no case for a hybrid which in addition requires a hefty premium over gasoline engines plus it carries all those heavy batteries and hybrid drive components. The highway mileage for a hybrid is at best the same as a gasoline engine. Clean diesels are much much better on the highway than hybrids and more than make up for the carbon emissions in city driving. Multiple tests have shown that diesels offer better overall mileage than hybrids. How are any of the Lexus hybrids better than the Audi TT which has a lower carbon footprint!?! The ranking should be:
