Honda has a history of environmental leadership dating back to a time when green was simply a color. Several decades later, we are proud to carry that tradition along, and be recognized as the country's Greenest Automaker by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS)—for the fifth time in a row[1].

The 2012 Honda Civic has been named one of About.com's Best New Cars of 2012. About.com's Aaron Gold called the 2012 Civic "…hands-down the most comprehensive compact car on the market." Gold was also impressed with the many Civic choices: "You can get a sedan or a coupe; a high-fuel-efficiency version; a high-performance version; a leather-lined version; a hybrid version; even an alternative-fuel version that runs on clean natural gas. And whichever Civic you choose, you're virtually guaranteed years of trouble-free motoring."
