Where is the 2006 Civic GX sales brochure???

Calls to the friendly American Honda Motor Co office in Torrance Calif (888-CC-HONDA), and e-mail requests have failed to get a brochure sent to me - has anyone else been able to get one?
The authorized Honda GX dealer in Beaverton Oregon doesn't have any, as they do not stock that model - only special order it.
You would think if I am considering plucking down big $$ for one of their nice cars they would accomodate a request for the brochure...
Maybe I'll consider the Chevy Silverado CNG/GAS fleet model instead!

since they are only trying to market the car in California and soon New York maybe they do not have a specific brochure for the GX. I have been told that the current production run is sold thru September (California). My 2oo6 purchased a few weeks ago has a serial number ending in 00108. There were no local GX's. I had to go to San Diego (Pacific Honda) to pick it up. They must not be building very many of them. Last year, when we got our 2005 GX there were 15 to 20 around L. A. and they were hard to get rid of. Honda may be a little gun shy.

Maybe CNG is more available in San Diego. We have a lot of taxis and buses running on CNG. It may be hard to get CNG in LA if they are closing some of the stations. Unless you have a PHILL at home.

There are over 80 CNG Stations in Southern California. Infrastructure in Los Angeles is much larger than the San Diego. Please click on this link to look up CNG stations near you

2006 CIVIC GX is here!

I saw my first 2006 Civic GX here in So. Calif. It was parked at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach,Ca. It had "Robertson Honda" paper plates. It did NOT have the DMV clean air stickers on it. All the 2006 Civic HYBRIDS I see all have the nice alloy wheels. The 2006 Civic GX has what looks like alloy wheels but are just the plastic hubcaps. This GX was white and Honda is using the same green sticker on the passenger doors that say's NGV. It's the same sticker as on my 2001 GX.

you are right! I just went outside and tapped the hubcap with my key....it is plastic. To enhance the car I already have a set of nicer rims and tires coming. I had a sun/moon roof installed right after I purchased the car. I told Honds they needed better rims, radio/speaker and interior choises to help market the car.

Seems like the 2006 Civic Hybrid is such a hot seller right now the dealers seem to be loading them with all goodies, rims, navigation, ets. It seems like the 2006 GX's are coming with the basic stock stuff. It's like Honda is just maketing the GX to the fleet buyers again. RST: you mentioned better speakers. Don't you have 4 speakers in your 2006 GX?

Hey RST:
Do you have the 5 speed automatic tranny or a CVT in the 2006 GX?

the car has the 5 speed auto not the cvt. Interesting as well is that when you accelerate the a/c cuts off and blows warm air. I guess thy are trying for more hp off the line. It is not a good thing in SoCal when you are in traffic and have just gotten into a hot car. Not good at all. Maybe I need to read the manual to see if it is the settings I am using. It has what appears to be four speakers, but not the way you would think. It has two small ones on the dash up by the main window posts (the holes are there, but you would need a microphone to test them....you can't get your head any where near them due to the angle of the front window) and two in the front doors. None in the rear. That will be my next project. Somebody mentioned on the forum that it could be done. I just don't really want them above the rear shelf level.
