Compressed Natural Gas cars

I'm torn. I really, desperately want a natural gas car. Unfortunately, I can't get one unless I'm willing to sell-out and buy a Honda. My options, apparently, are to stay true to my Buy-American mindset and buy a high-quality, union-built, American car (like the very nice, Saturn Aura hybrid) or travel to New York to buy a non-union-built, Japanese car (the Honda Civic GX). I'm incredibly impressed with the CNG technology: similar range, fuel economy, and power compared to a gasoline car but with fuel that's available at home at lass than half the cost. I guess I have to wait until the Volt comes out.
