Honda Civic Hybrid 2011 pics

Last year, Fall Out Boy participated in the Honda Civic Tour and created a special dark version one-off Civic hybrid. The Tour is back for the 8th year with Panic! At The Disco as the featured band. As you can see, Panic's car is a bit more colorful than last year's. The exterior features colorful nature images on the sides and a Panic! At The Disco logo emblazoned on the hood. It's also been signed by the band (click the photo above to see a high-res version of the photo). As with all the cars in the annual tour, this Civic hybrid will be given away at the end of the tour, which runs from April 10th to June 14th. Specific dates will be announced soon. Apparently, there will be eco-booths run by nonprofits Reverb and Global Inheritance at each performance.
One thing I liked about the Fall Out Boy-Honda partnership last year was that a lot of very serious Fall Out Boy fans came to AutoblogGreen trying to get tickets. If Panic! At The Disco has a similarly passionate fanbase, we look forward to their presence on these pages.UPDATE: added ! to the band nameUPDATE: added ! to the band name.

Said Panic At The Disco lead singer Brendon Urie: "We're taking advice from Fall Out Boy, who headlined the Honda Civic Tour last year, on how to make this year's tour even better. Those guys set the bar pretty high, but we're really looking forward to hitting the road again and are definitely up for the challenge." Guitarist Ryan Ross commented: "We were just kids when we went to see Good Charlotte and New Found Glory in Vegas during the '03 Civic Tour so it's pretty amazing to now be headlining."Beyond great music, this year's Honda Civic Tour is also deploying an environmental action plan. In the tradition of the past three Honda Civic Tours featuring the Civic Hybrid, the '08 trek is the tradition of the past three Honda Civic Tours featuring the Civic Hybrid, the '08 trek is aimed at effecting positive environmental change. New for this year, nonprofits Reverb (a leader in the "greening" of concert tours) and Global Inheritance (a champion of progressive causes with a tight connection to youth subcultures) have been selected by Panic At The Disco. They are collaborating to engage audiences in fun, fan-friendly, interactive exhibits during the tour. Additionally, this collective will make a substantial contribution to a cause to be determined by the end of the tour. The concept chosen will be selected on its merit to make a lasting impact on the generation-defining environmental movement in the name of the 2008 Honda Civic Tour with Panic At The Disco.
Tickets will equal action. For every Honda Civic Tour Panic At The Disco ticket purchased, $1 will go into a fund designated for non-profit tour partners Reverb and Global Inheritance. Being green does not get any easier than buying a ticket to the '08 Honda Civic Tour!
