Perhaps you even considered a Honda Civic Sedan but were worried about the battery's impact on the environment. Troubled by this issue as well, Honda went to work on a solution. The end result? A battery recycling process.

Though hybrids have a positive influence on our environment?

We at Honda of Concord are always thrilled when new Honda models are recognized by venerable institutions. But, in this day and age of paramount eco-awareness, when five models are recognized for their green performance? Well, that's just too wonderful for words.

Specifically, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) recently compiled its list of the "Greenest Vehicles of 2013" and a secondary list the "Greener Choices." And, among those recognized on the…

Now that the venerable Paris Motor Show is well underway, we can stop wishing, dreaming and hoping that Honda will provide us with the information we desire about one of our favorite models, the 2013 Honda CR-Z

People in the Concord area and beyond are continuously satisfied with the style and performance of the Honda Civic, and we at Honda of Concord are no exception. After all, it's an extremely versatile vehicle that allows drivers to choose between a 2-door coupe or 4-door sedan, and  transmission options including 5-speed automatic and 5/6-speed manual. Yes, it's certainly not hard to see why the Civic has been such a long-time crowd-pleaser?

In a recent Honda of Concord blog post, we mentioned that a fleet of Honda Fit EV tester models were released in China to gather data on electric vehicle driving. Now, we have great news for those in the Concord area and beyond. The 2013 Fit EV has been spotted within our U.S. walls, several times actually. First the Fit variant debuted at the L.A. auto show back in November. Most recently, it made an appearance at Tokyo's pre-show event where auto aficionados where given a behind-the-wheel taste of the model's innovation.

In the case of electric vehicles, many aren't completely convinced. That is part of the reason Honda has released an entire fleet of EV testers onto the streets of China.

It's easy to tell that Honda is interested in pushing green technology forward with models such as the Honda Civic hybrid and natural gas. However, you may not realize that the buildings in which these new Honda vehicles are manufactured are environmentally sustainable as well. With a total of eleven, "green-certified" plants, the automaker comes out ahead of all other companies in the industry.

Honda profits jumped to huge numbers during 2011, but the Japanese auto maker has received another great honor - Greenest Auto Maker. Beleive it or not, this isn't the first time Honda has received the award, in fact this is the 5th straight year Honda has become Greenest Automaker. The 2011 Honda Civic GX, fueled by compressed natural gas, was also named Greenest Vehicles of 2011 by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy…
