Green cars are awesome, if you can afford them...

The auto-centric way of life can be "green" too, we hear, once "green" cars are available. However, because of the crash on Wall St. and other factors, being able to afford one is getting even more difficult thanks to fewer banks willing to approve fewer loans on automobiles these days, especially to people with not spectacular credit. Interest rates are going up, even if your credit is good. http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2008/09/how-wall-street.html
