American Honda Motor Co., Inc., has debuted its all-new compressed natural gas (CNG) powered Civic GX at the 2006 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show earlier this month. Scheduled to go on sale at select Honda dealers throughout California in May, the Civic GX proposes a pathway to energy independence, produces near zero emissions, and delivers benefits to owners in the form of tax breaks and single passenger carpool lane access.

The new 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine found in the Civic GX delivers an increase of more than 10 percent in horsepower and torque versus previous models.

Natural gas-powered vehicles are part of Honda's energy strategy to offer the best available technology for the reduction of air pollution and petroleum dependence. The Civic GX will be manufactured in East Liberty, Ohio.
