Honda Civic Hybrid

Honda updates its 2009 Civic Hybrid with Vehicle Stability Assist (VS) and an optional leather-trimmed interior that includes heated front seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel and heated side mirrors. Certified by the California Air Resource Board (CARB) as an Advanced-Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV), the Civic Hybrid achieves its 40/45 city/highway mileage thanks to Honda’s advanced IMA hybrid system, a continuously variable transmission (CVT), and four-cylinder-deactivation that enables the Civic Hybrid to run using only the electric motor in low-speed driving. Total horsepower from a 1.3-liter i-VTEC four-cylinder engine and 15 kilowatt electric motor combination is 110 @ 6,000 rpm

Camry

A perennial best seller, the Toyota Camry stands as the most popular family sedan in America, boasting annual sales over 400,000 units a year. What this large owner group has found is a refined, mild-mannered sedan that rides well on rough roads and is a quiet, confident highway cruiser. The standard engine is a 158-hp, 2.4-liter DOHC I-4 available with a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission. The next step up is to a 187-hp hybrid, with the top engine being a 268-hp, 3.5-liter V-6. All available powerplants are quite refined and deliver respectable fuel economy. All engines meet at least Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (ULEV) standards, with four-cylinder engines sold in states that adhere to the California emissions standards boasting Partial Zero (PZEV) compliance. Several trim levels give the Camry a broad portfolio, ranging from practical family transport to pampering, near-luxury car. Four-wheel disc brakes with antilock are standard on all trims. Other key safety equipment available on all Camrys include stability control, side air bags, and side-curtain air bags. For a more sporty feel, Camry Solara is available, standard with a 155 horsepower 2.4-liter I-4, and available with a 3.3-liter 210 horsepower V-6.
