Are 996s low emissions cars now?

Well, I personally am low a low emissions vehicle because I don't bore other people to death talking about how "its a hybrid."

But seriously, why would there be a space at the front for these cars? Are they incapable of parking in the regular spaces? I know this is the hotel's idea of "going green" but shouldn't the hybrids and "low-emitting vehicles" park in the rear of the lot? Since they will emit less gases driving to the back. I swear, people don't care about the environment, they just want another conversation piece and some special treatment.

Heck, with my 33mpg I could do it

Didn't Clarkson say on a Top Gear episode that the 997TT is putting out cleaner air than it takes in in most metropolitan areas?

Top Gear did a comparison with a BMW M3. My guess is that it would probably be true with a 996. You can safely park there.

Aslo check Prius vs. BMW 520d
