The award extends to the entire Civic Sedan and Civic Coupe lineup, including the environmentally responsible Civic Hybrid and high-performance Civic Si models. www.honda.com Toyota What can you say about this company that hasn't already been said when it comes to revolutionizing the driving experience? The EPA's 2006 Fuel Economy Guide places Toyota cars, trucks, SUVs, station wagons, and minivans in the top ten of more EPA vehicle categories than any other brand. Additionally, the sum of Toyota vehicles in the top ten of all EPA categories is greater than those of any other maker.

Since 1995, Toyota, Nissan, and honda had seen their American market share go from 18 to 28 percent. Ford, GM, and Chrysler had seen their market share dip from 73 to 58 percent in the same time.1 On August 25, 2005, USA Today reported: "The debts of General Motors and Ford Motor were lowered to junk status by Moody's Investors Service."2 Conversely, not going green soon enough could already have been the death knell tolling. It might already be too late for GM. It was GM that rejected the hybrid concept and lagged years behind Toyota by the time its first consumer version came out in 2006.

The hybrid gamble of 1994 that turned an admired so-called imitator company into an industry leader has already paid off for both Toyota as well as honda, and will for Ford, too, and even possibly GM. Hybrid technology might be a bridge technology, but it is the immediate future (no matter how much GMC tried to deny this throughout the last decade, when their competitors were gaining strategic market share).

Honda Insight debuted in the American market in 1999.7 In that year, only a couple of hundred Insights were sold. The sales of U.S. hybrids have generally doubled every year: ?2000 9,350 ?2001 20,287 ?2002 35,000 ?2003 47,525 ?2004 88,000 According to the Bloomberg news service, 35,474 hybrid vehicles were sold during the first quarter of 2005, with the Toyota Prius accounting for the greatest amount of sales?2,800, up from 9,918 for the comparable period of 2004.

Honda's hybrid sales for the first quarter of 2005 numbered 9,025, up from 6,169 for the same period last year, with the hybrid Civic's 8.2 percent quarterly drop attributed to the automaker's introduction of the new hybrid Accord. Ford sold 3,569 Escape hybrid SUVs during the quarter. Sales are going to escalate from here, and then branch out into a number of diversely fueled types of vehicles. But we also have to be aware of diluting the environmental integrity of the product. Today's hybrids have sacrificed miles per gallon for performance. The old hybrids demonstrated superior mpg.

Both GM and Toyota, along with Ford, Chrysler, and honda, were party to a lawsuit seeking to overturn a California law requiring vehicles to produce 30 percent less greenhouse gas emissions than today's models, by 2016—goals that are roughly equivalent to emission restrictions that came into force in Europe following implementation of the Kyoto treaty.

The concept has started to feel dated, like talking about freezing your head after you die—a vaguely embarrassing symbol of a particular era of futurism. But honda may change all of that with a hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle slated to begin production in Japan within the next three to four years. The FCX line has been Honda's fuel-cell vehicle prototype for a few years now, but the first iteration was ill suited to regular use. Tiny, somewhat underpowered, and saddled with a driving range equal to about half that of a typical gasoline-fueled car's, the old FCX simply wasn't an attractive option.

Honda Civic hybrid gets by on."10 The new hybrid Saturn that GM released in summer 2006 would only provide a 10 to 12 percent fuel improvement, which was hardly inspiring. But these are the hazards of coming in a distant third or fourth in the hybrid game. Today, increasing mpg and offering consumers a wide choice of fuels is the winning formula and one Ford and GM must adopt. All of the auto companies need to be creating flex fuel infrastructures with more ethanol fueling stations to be constructed in the Midwest and hydrogen stations in California.

And when the robot industry really gains steam, it's going to be honda, Toyota and other Japanese companies owning the global market. So what do we do to protect U.S. jobs in manufacturing industries? Forget about protectionism. What we need to do as a nation is invest in education so that we spur a new generation of smart, creative thinkers who can compete globally. It's a global market, after all, and if you're going to compete with programmers in India, engineers in Japan, and machine designers in Germany, you'd better get serious about national education reform.

Several years ago, most people would have said that hydrogen-powered cars were the only solution—and exciting new developments from manufacturers like honda have restored faith not only in hydrogen cars but also in a future hydrogen economy. However, hydrogen development is more challenging than had originally been anticipated, and will clearly be slow to yield workable results. We can't assume that hydrogen-powered cars will be perfected in time to head off the potential shortages and disastrous environmental consequences of peak oil and global warming.

Opposite, right: Honda's FCX fuel-cell stack could power the first commercially viable hydrogen car. sedans could get upwards of 80 miles per gallon and be carbon neutral. That's a cool ride. jc The Hydrogen Economy Hybrids and biodiesel cars are fine first steps, but they are only first steps —and baby steps at that. In order to avoid the troubles that we'll face when we hit peak oil, and to reduce emissions enough to ensure a bright green future, we need a whole new auto industry, one that is not dependent on fossil fuels.

The FCX line has been Honda's fuel-cell vehicle prototype for a few years now, but the first iteration was ill suited to regular use. Tiny, somewhat underpowered, and saddled with a driving range equal to about half that of a typical gasoline-fueled car's, the old FCX simply wasn't an attractive option. The new FCX design, however, changes all of that, and manages to induce the kind of auto lust that previous hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles couldn't muster.

More important, honda has simultaneously developed the latest generation of its Home Energy Station (HES). The Home Energy Station uses regular natural gas to create hydrogen to fuel the FCX at home. But the same system can also supply electricity to homes—the heat produced from refueling can even provide hot water. If it works as claimed, the FCX/Home Energy Station combo will not only slash carbon emissions by 40 percent, it will also cut combined electricity, gas, and fuel costs in half. A car that doubles as a home generator—that's more than an advanced form of transportation.

Opposite, right: Honda's experimental home fueling station could provide heat and electricity for a home as well as fuel for a hydrogen-powered fuel-cell vehicle. ¦m If we want to change the world, it helps to learn how to see systems and look for places in those systems where small, strategic actions pay off in big results. Take the things we buy: the products that wind up on store shelves are part of a vast system of research, design, manufacturing, and marketing. No matter how brilliant a designer is, if the company she's working for doesn't think her designs will sell, they're history.

They would call mentally ill people living in the community and promise them $150 if they would participate in the study. Patients already on locked wards at the hospital would be given cigarettes for participating. Some patients were churned through study after study, as well.
