MyRide.com Lists Top Green Vehicles Celebrities Want Most: Hollywood's Celebrities from George Clooney to Brad Pitt Go from A-List to Wai
IRVINE, Calif. (Business Wire EON) April 22, 2008 -- "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.
