Yahoo Auto’s Green Center is a powerful auto buying portal focused on hybrid and other eco-friendly vehicles. Its web pages are packed with engaging content, tools and community features that help users evaluate, compare and find the green car that is right for them.
Site features target consumer needs at every stage across the purchase funnel – from building awareness of green cars and technology to enabling comparison of available choices to facilitating purchases at the dealerships. Moreover, Yahoo built the site using relevant proprietary applets such as Yahoo Answers, Groups and News that are used across its portal, while forming partnerships to do the rest. In doing so, Yahoo is able to integrate best-of-breed tools within the site experience.

One of the most engaging tools is the Gas Mileage Impact Calculator which enables direct comparison of vehicles based on gas milage, fuel costs and emissions. Here I have provided a direct comparison between the Camry and the Camry hybrid. Note the 2,500 lb reduction in carbon dioxide emissions when shifting to the hybrid.

Good writeup, my investment adviser always said.

to access your account even if you are not near your computer
or the site is down. Most online trading companies give
you the option of calling or faxing trades. Remember that there may
be additional fees associated with these alternate trading methods, however.
