The completely redesigned 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid has won the World Car of the Year Award for greenest car.

In an earlier post I said if I where to buy a sedan today, I would probably go for the 2006 Honda Civic hybrid based on its performance and the fact that when compared over the the Honda Civic Sedan AT, the hybrid has a fuel economy 49/51 EPA city/hwy mpg over the Civic Sedan AT which gives 30/40 EPA city/hwy mpg. That is about 61% & 21% city/hwy approx. increase in fuel efficiency in the Civic hybrid. The only drawback for me is that the Civic hybrid cost about 21k which is about $6000 more than the 2006 Civic sedan, which is not neccessarily a bad thing, but in my ideal world, if I hand the money and a job, I would buy this car in an instant.
