Mark: Thank-you Jean.

The winner of this year's Automobile Magazine Technology of the Year Award was self evident once we'd rigoursly tested the car that conforms to the strictest emissions regulations, turns in incredible gas mileage, and yet remains a blast to drive.

The receipiet of our award has been coming up with innovative sollusions to emissions controls over the past 25 years, and this is yet another example. For the way it has ingeniously blended the best attributes of the internal combustion engine with highly advanced battery technology in the Honda Insight, we're please to award Honda's Integrated Motor Assist with Automobile Magazine's Technology of the Year Award. Here to accept the award for Honda is Tom Elliot, Executive Vice President of American Honda Motor Corporation.

Tom: Thank-you Mark. Obviously I think its very important to us. I think Honda prides itself on being an early innovator of low emissions technology and we elected that we'd be the first one to market with this type of technology, and it's especially important that we see the recognition by publications such as Automobile Magzine for that. On behalf of everybody at Honda Motor, thank-you very much.
