Honda has a long history of
environmental leadership, including the introduction of America's first
mass-produced hybrid, the [original] Honda Insight, and the first vehicle to
meet California's Low-Emission Vehicle standards, 1996 Civic well in advance of
regulatory requirements. Acknowledgment of our commitment to innovation can be
seen by Honda's topping the rankings as the country's greenest automaker by the
Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS)?for the fifth consecutive year[1].
