TOKYO — Honda will sell a new, improved and affordable gas-electric hybrid in the USA, Japan and Europe starting in early 2009, underlining the Japanese automaker’s commitment to “green” technology, the company president said Wednesday.

The new model — to be sold solely as a hybrid, and not as a traditional, gasoline-powered car — is a key part of Honda’s (HMC) strategy for the next three years that President Takeo Fukui outlined at Tokyo headquarters.

Honda said the new hybrid’s exterior design is based on its wedge-shaped FCX Clarity hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle. Several dozen of the fuel cell-powered five-passenger sedans will be leased in the United States this July and in Japan in the fall.

    There is in fact a way that windshields can help protect both the environment and your wallet. And no…its not recycling the old ones.

    Most newer vehicles have a UV coating on their auto glass. This keeps the car cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Thereby reducing the amount of fuel wasted on Air Conditioning and heat. In turn, this lowers the amount of fuel your vehicle uses!

    So it is true!

    A good windshield can help keep both your wallet and the environment green!
