Which car models are the "greenest" in the U.S. market? Two clean diesels, two conventional gasoline-powered models, and one model that offers a choice of gasoline, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid powertrains have been identified as finalists in the 2014 Green Car of the Year competition that is sponsored by Green Car Journal magazine.

One of five finalists--Audi A6 TDI; BMW 328d; Honda Accord; Mazda 3; and Toyota Corolla--will be honored as the 2014 Green Car of the Year at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show in November.
