GM racks up another award for the Chevrolet Volt! As announced this morning at the Los Angeles auto show, the electric car beat out the Nissan LEAF, the Ford Fiesta, the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. It also marks the end of a winning streak for diesel engines, as the Volkswagen Jetta TDI and Audi A3 TDI both took the title during the last two years.

So, that’s more good news for General Motors and the Volt. The Green Vehicle of the Year Award is handed by the Green Car Journal, and this year’s judging panel of 11 voters included Jay Leno and Carroll Shelby.
