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.

I live in Quebec, I just bought a new HCH 3 weeks ago and loving it.
I did exactly the same answer yesterday night in a french forum regarding the same comment about the $10,000 difference. I know most people compare the HCH to an LX to display price difference but after you look closely to the spec of the LX versus the EX, I find the EX more a correct match to compare with an HCH. The + of the EX versus the LX mostly equal the + of the Hybrid versus the LX. Which make the price difference even less significant.
Anyway, it's just my way of to see it.
I don't know why our government don't do anything to promote more fuel efficient car. But this year I have decided not to wait anymore to make a good move.
Sorry for any wording mistake, this is not my first language.
