In response to the Government of Canada's arbitrary definition of fuel efficiency and to ensure that Canadians have an equal opportunity to purchase a vehicle that offers the right balance of environmental stewardship and safety, Honda Canada and its automobile dealers are responding.

Customers who purchase or lease a new 2007 Honda Fit with automatic or manual transmission or a new 2006 or 2007 Honda Civic with manual transmission (excluding the Civic Si Coupe) will receive a benefit that mirrors the Government's ecoAuto program.

Named the "Honda Benefit," a $1,000 incentive will be applied and, same as the Government program, will be effective retroactively to March 20, 2007, for eligible consumers who purchase or lease one of the above noted vehicles from a Honda dealership.  Customers who recently purchased an eligible vehicle or are considering purchasing, are encouraged to contact their Honda dealership to learn about the full details of the "Honda Benefit."

At Honda, 'Green, Safe and Fun' exist together.  After all, that's what makes a Honda a Honda.  For a free Safety For Everyone brochure or to learn more about Honda's environmental leadership visit www.honda.ca.
