There wouldn't be enough space for the hybrid components. The CNG Honda already suffers from decreased space in the trunk due to the CNG tank. Furthermore, it experiences far less range than the gas model.

Thanks Pablo, I appreciate that reference. So according to your article, CNG releases less CO2 (about 25% less). However, when adjusted for the energy intensity of extracting and transporting CNG, that figure needs to be modified a bit. So, upon what basis do you think that “Greenest Vehicles of 2008″ is based on? Based on what I could tell, the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy looked specifically at GHG emissions…..your thoughts?

Natural gas doesn’t release less GHGs, it releases less “criteria air pollutants” such as PM10, VOCs, SOx, and NOx. Read this: http://www.triplepundit.com/pages/askpablo-clean-natural-gas-002330.php
