Would anyone want to pay $10,000 CDN more for the same car ("same size...same features") only because is a Hybrid ?
The automatic LX Civic Sedan sells for $21,580 CDN, the Civic Hybrid sells for $25,800 CDN ( $4,220 CDN difference), and the Hybrid has some additional options that the LX doesn't have.
Natural Resources Canada is supposed to protect our environment by promoting ways to reduce pollution and the use of more efficient vehicles.
I believe they are doing the opposite by providing erroneous information.
Please send them your feedback, even if you are in the USA, our air pollution doesn't stop at the border.
