ADAC says Passat EcoFuel is the greenest car in Europe
ADAC, the famous German drivers' association, thinks that the VW Passat TSI EcoFuel Trendlne with natural gas (CNG) is the most environmentally friendly car in Europe. This is the result of ADAC's ECOT, in which the car scored 92 out of 100 points. The car received special awards during the pollutants test (50/50 points) as well as real-world fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, 139 g/km, where it got the remaining 42 out of 50. The car used 4.9 kg of natural gas per 100 km. The second place went to the Toyota Prius with 89 points out of 100.

Seconded.
Their tests and articles have become incredibly biased towards domestic (German) brands.
That wasn't always the case, it coincides with the process of going from a simple motorist's association towards a self-important lobbyist organization claiming and media empire from hell.

I would rather drive a VW Passat than a Prius any day. Prius in my language means " boring".

139g/km? VW say 20. Are there no renewable gas in Germany?
