If you absolutely need a car that seats more than five and want to be green, the Highlander Hybrid is a good option.
The Highlander Hybrid handles pretty much the way you'd expect a midsize crossover/SUV to handle, meaning it is tuned more for comfort and utility than performance. The hybrid powertrain is pretty transparent in use - other than the silence that greets you when you press the start button, there are few clues when you're under way that you're driving a hybrid vehicle. Acceleration, while not blazingly fast, is very good for a vehicle of this size and weight, and the power is delivered very smoothly thanks to the CVT transmission.inline_mediumwraptextright26793140/green/reviews/1002_2010_toyota_highlander_hybrid_ltd1002_14_z+2010_toyota_highlander_hybrid_lTD+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

The Ray is a four-door, four-seat, plug-in hybrid based on the Kia Forte platform.
As the environmentally-friendly car wars continue to heat up, Kia has been quietly working up its own assault dubbed "EcoDynamics." With a fuel cell vehicle, a natural gas-powered model and a hybrid under its belt already, Kia's fuel efficiency division is stepping up its game with a plug-in parallel hybrid concept vehicle called "Ray" which is making its debut at the 2010 Chicago auto show.inline_mediumwraptextright32239407/green/news/1002_kia_ray_conceptkia-ray-concept-front-three-quarter.jpgTrue

Four proper seats, comfortable, inviting and all-enveloping. Never before had an open-top Maserati offered so much. Never before had a car with the Trident badge allowed an entire family or four friends to enjoy a journey in the open air. The GranCabrio's magical chemistry starts when you look at it: it is shockingly beautiful, with the soft top up or down. Full story...

If you think of the EX35 as a tall coupe, it's easy to love.
Nissan hasn't really marketed it as such (and I commend them for that), but the EX35 could easily be considered part of the "premium four-door crossover coupe" crowd, along with the likes of the BMW X6 and the Acura ZDX. Of course, the attractive first-generation Infiniti FX35/45 could also be lumped into that group, if not for the fact that adults can actually fit in the FX's back seats.inline_mediumwraptextright32218137/reviews/editors_notebook/1002_2010_infiniti_ex35_journey_awd1002_08_z+2010_infiniti_eX35_journey_aWD+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
