2013-05-21 04:36:58| AutomotiveDigest.com - Automotive Industry News
There have been quite a few research studies done on what consumers think about green cars, primarily hybrids and electric vehicles what theyre willing to pay, concerns and attitudes they have, how likely they are to own one soon. The atmosphere has been much affected by spikes in gasoline prices and by awareness of the upcoming federal mandate on reaching 54.5 mpg by 2025. Consumer interest and support has gone through ebbs and flows, along with sales figures for these niches. Now, that seems to be changing. A study by US market research firm Phoenix Marketing International has found that consumers are phasing into more acceptance of the technology. Phoenix Marketing has been analyzing ongoing automotive ad tracking and consumer sentiment research. Ads for the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, and Volkswagen TDI Clean Diesel have achieved strong results.

Honda Civic Hybrid Getting 60+ MPG In Europe
2013-05-20 05:55:46| AutomotiveDigest.com - Automotive Industry News
The 2013 Honda Civic Hybrid doesnt get the kind of attention in the hybrid market that others are getting such as Ford and Toyota but the Civic Hybrid is getting 44 mpg combined and sells for a very competitive price. In Europe, things are a bit different its a five-door hatchback rather than a four-door sedan like it is in the States. The styling is more space age. And one other difference the diesel engine versions has the potential to get 60 mpg. Honda says it gets 65.3 mpg for the 1.6L four cylinder diesel Civic. Green Car Reports did more than 900 miles of mostly highway driving in the UK with a bit of traffic congestion; trip computer figure of 74.5 mpg in imperial gallons translates to 62 mpg US. Civic competes in US and Europe in the compact class against rivals such as Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. Honda does also offer a 2.2-liter diesel model with more performance and slightly less economy, so diesel buyers aren't stuck with a lower-powered model. There are a few reasons why this car wont reach US shores. The Article Honda Civic Hybrid Getting 60+ MPG In Europe appeared first on Automotive Digest.
