Dealer network expands for retail sales of nation's only natural gas-powered vehicle sold by an OEM
American Honda Motor Co., Inc., recently announced that dealers in Oklahoma will now have the option of selling the compressed natural gas (CNG) powered Honda Civic GX to customers on a retail basis. There are 13 Honda dealers in Oklahoma, three of which are already selling the Civic GX as a fleet vehicle.
"Expanding Honda's Civic GX retail program along with the continued success of fleet sales expresses our commitment to the environment and natural gas vehicle technology," said Elmer Hardy, senior manager of Alternative Fuel Vehicle Sales & Marketing. "Honda seeks market opportunities for the Civic GX where strong natural gas refueling infrastructure exists, and we continue to see its promise as a clean, sustainable, domestically-sourced alternative fuel."
Honda is the only OEM currently selling a CNG-powered vehicle on a retail basis in the United States. Additionally, the Civic GX is the only OEM-built, CNG-powered passenger car assembled in America. The Civic GX is built on the same assembly line as the gasoline-powered Civic 4-door models at Honda's Greensburg, Indiana manufacturing facility.
In 2006, the Civic GX became available for the first time to retail customers in California. Since then, retail sales have expanded to New York, Utah and now, Oklahoma. Currently, 43 dealers in California, 19 in New York and eight in Utah have added Retail Sales Addendums to their Honda Sales Agreements that enable them to sell the Civic GX on a retail basis. When including dealerships that sell fleet vehicles, there are a total of 134 Civic GX dealers in 33 states.
Oklahoma is an ideal market to expand retail sales of the Civic GX with its low refueling costs, a generous state tax incentive toward the purchase of a new Civic GX and solid fleet sales. As the second largest natural gas producing state in the U.S., Oklahoma already has a strong existing CNG station infrastructure with robust plans to expand the network over the next several years.
The 2010 Civic GX achieves an EPA-estimated city/highway fuel economy of 24/36** miles per gasoline-gallon equivalent and is the only vehicle certified by the EPA to meet both Federal Tier 2-Bin 2 and Inherently Low Emission Vehicle (ILEV) zero evaporative emission certification standards. Additionally, the Honda Civic GX is the cleanest internal combustion vehicle ever tested by the EPA, and for the seventh straight year, the Civic GX NGV was named "Greenest Vehicle" by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE).

VTech(R) Introduces its First Two-Line DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone System
The New DS6151 Offers Most Affordable and Advanced Communication Solution of its Kind
BEAVERTON, Ore., Dec. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- VTech® Communications, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of VTech Holdings Ltd. (HKSE: 303; ADR: VTKHY) and the largest U.S. cordless phone manufacturer, today announced its first two-line phone with DECT 6.0 technology. Available now for just $79.95, the DS6151 is the most affordable system of its kind, making it ideal for busy households and small businesses.
Based on DECT 6.0 technology, the feature-rich and expandable VTech DS6151 offers superior sound quality, range and interference-free calls. As a two-line system priced at nearly half the cost of similarly-featured phones, the DS6151 is perfect for small businesses as well as for homes using dial-up Internet service or to provide separate lines for different family members.
Additionally, the system includes a digital answering machine with a dedicated mailbox for each line. As a result, users have peace-of-mind that their calls with family, friends or business associates are secure, and can enjoy smoother, more organized communication.
"This solution is great for people working at home, families that need separate lines or consumers who still use dial-up Internet service," said Matt Ramage, senior vice president, product management, VTech Communications, Inc. "With its smart design elements and budget-friendly price, the DS6151 is a new breed of two-line home communication."
Designed for Functionality
The DS6151 has optional expandability up to 12 handsets with only one phone jack (using the DS6301 accessory handset, sold separately for $29.95), making it easy to answer landline calls from any room. Along with two-line functionality, VTech designed the DS6151 to simplify any household or business communication with features including handset and base speakerphone and the ability to transfer and conference between handsets. Users also can conference an outside call between the two lines.
Other key features include an extra large LCD with blue backlighting, larger display font and a tilted base station display for easy viewing, plus dual caller ID.

Obama says he'll accept Nobel as 'call to action' - Yahoo! News
Obama says he'll accept Nobel as a call to action - Yahoo! News
On one hand, the president has not been in office long enough to deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. He has been asked to reject the award. (bullshit)
On the other hand he has been in office long enough to have solved five of the country's major problems--according to SNL Jokes and many others who are not joking.
So which is it?
Take a huge gulp of haterade, wipe ya mouth and take another swig.
