Honda natural gas car wins LA green prize
The 2012 Honda Civic Natural Gas was named Green Car of the Year at
the LA Auto Show on Thursday, beating finalists including European, US
and other Asian carmakers.
The Japanese automaker welcomed the award, announced on the second
media open day of the Los Angeles show, which opens to the general
public from November 18-27.
“The Civic Natural Gas is not only a great vehicle, it also
demonstrates Honda’s commitment to provide a variety of alternatives to
gasoline,” said Michael Accavitti, of American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
The car is the only factory-built, CNG-powered car produced in
America, and went on sale in October with prices starting at $26,155,
the company noted.
Honda added that it was expanding its retail network selling the car
to 200 dealers in 36 states. Previously it has been limited to four
states: California, New York, Utah and Oklahoma.
