One recent review of the 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid said  "this car really is a definite positive step in the correct direction for drivers who want to do their bit for the environment." It's true, as Civic Hybrid reaches a total of 44 miles per gallon city, as well as 44 miles per gallon highway. Those are impressive numbers.¹

And with a starting price nearing $24,000, it's an an affordable ride

Looking for a sports car with hybrid power? Honda CR-Z is the only one on the market today with great MPG and top performance. And if you think it's not worthy, then why is CR-Z a finalist for Wheels Car of the Year?

Now, don't get the wrong idea. Honda is very pro-environmentally friendly car production. The Japanese automaker is, in fact, recognized as the country's Greenest Automaker by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS
