Green Cars
IRVINE, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) April 22, 2008 --
This Earth Day Celebrity
Car Parade, the celebrity rides section of MyRide.com,
the new online consumer resource dedicated to everything automotive,
reports that Hollywood’s biggest names are
clamoring to get their hands on the next generation of alternative
powered vehicles soon to hit the market. From the hydrogen
powered BMW 7 series to the ultra-exclusive Tesla
electric sports car, green continues to take on a new image and the wait
list starts with the likes of George Clooney and Arnold
Schwarzenegger.
“In the past few years we’ve
seen green become the new black in Hollywood, and the next generation of
green vehicles redefine conservation with a whole new level of style and
fun,” says Celebrity
Car Parade spokesperson Elliot Darvick. “These
cars are a natural fit for the celebrity lifestyle offering speed,
elegance and the latest technology in addition to Hollywood’s
favorite option, exclusive availability.”
Here are some of the latest celebrity green must-haves:
Tesla
Roadster – This all-electric sports
car boasts a $98,000 price tag and an unofficial waiting list buzzing
with names like George Clooney, Jay
Leno, Matt Damon, Flea, Anthony Kiedis, Will.i.Am, Brad Pitt, and Arnold
Schwarzenegger.
BMW
Hydrogen 7 – This extremely rare modified
version of the 7 Series sedan runs on hydrogen, an alternative fuel. Driving
one is an invite-only experience, and Will Ferrell, Jay
Leno, Jeremy
Piven, Cameron Diaz and Edward Norton have all been granted time
behind the wheel.
Smart
FourTwo – Every artist
who performed at last summer’s Live Earth
concert was offered a Smart, and one practically needs to be a VIP to
get ahead on the thousands-deep wait list for the first micro-car to hit
the US. From the 5’5”
Miley
Cyrus to 6’11”
ex-NBA player John Salley, the Smart is making quite an impression on
celebrities.
Cadillac Escalade Hybrid –
With rumors of low production numbers, it’s
inevitable that most of these big-boy hybrids will end up in the hands
of VIP’s. Celebrities love these mega status
symbols and this next generation hybrid allows them to have their cake
and eat it too. Super Bowl winner Eli Manning will take delivery of the
first Escalade Hybrid in July. Who’s next? Travis
Barker? Lindsay
Lohan? Let the wait list begin!
Tango
– This $106,000 high performance
eco-friendly vehicle about the size of motorcycle is one of George
Clooney’s favorite rides. While it has been a
rarity on the market until recently, production is ramping up and we
predict more will be spotted in celebrity hands soon.
