Last year, worldwide car buyers were pretty refrained in the color choices they made for their cars, with white accounting for 23 percent of global car sales. But when it comes to cars like the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic five-door hatchback, vibrant colors like orange are becoming almost as popular as black, the number one Sonic color choice. According to The Wall Street Journal, Inferno Orange is the second-most-requested color for the sporty hatch, accounting for nearly one in five orders. Read our 2012 Chevrolet Sonic Weekend Test Drive Aimed at first-time car buyers, the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic...

Most Popular Posts of 2010: Mazda2, Prius Crashes, Leaf, Volt, and Other EVsWe love looking back to see what's been popular over the course of a full year. And 2010 was definitely chock-full of green car news.

Car Batteries, Diesel Golfs, Prius Crashes: What's the Link?
Like many site editors, we read our traffic stats religiously. Perhaps unlike other site editors, ours frequently make us laugh. We try to provide practical information on navigating your way through the confusing claims made about 'green' cars, whether they're hybrids, clean diesels, or just very...

We're a bit late on what's usually an end-of-month recap of the five most popular posts on AllAboutPrius.com. But, hey, we had a long Labor Day too ... and now we're back in business. So here they are for August. Unusually for us, compared to July's most popular posts, three of our Top Five are...

We usually recap our five most popular posts on GreenCarReports.com at the end of every month. We're a bit late for August but, hey, we had a long Labor Day too ... now we're back in business. We replaced most of July's most popular posts, with three new winners in our Top Five. Here goes: # 1: How Does the 2011 Chevy Volt Get 230 MPG? By Making Assumptions. Frankly, we're delighted this was our top-ranked post for August. This topic is complex, and we don't think General Motors helped matters much by touting a 230-MPG claim for city gas mileage on its 2011 Volt. Bottom Line: The fuel...
