Beating a diverse field of finalists, the 2012 Honda Civic Natural Gas was named the Green Car of the Year at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Michael Accavitti, vice president of marketing for American Honda Motor Co., said, “This, to Honda, is everything.” The Chevrolet Volt extended-range hybrid was last year’s winner. Honda is targeting 2,000 Civic Natural Gas sales a year initially, but expects that to double.
