Are Honda's emissions really better?

As I mentioned in other threads, I am thinking about saving up for a Pontiac G6 coupe. However, I love Honda and hate to give up their outstanding engines and emissions. So I've been doing some digging and now I'm puzzled. Are Honda's emissions actually any better than other manufacturers? Check out this link:
http://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/E-HONDA-Civic-05.htm

The 7th gen civic does appear to fair well in the "air pollutants category". The Accord V6 is also just middle of the road. Is Honda really better when it comes to emissions, or are they just better at marketing?

it would appear to be nearly opposite of what the link you posted shows.

Any idea as to what the difference is? Specifically looking at air pollution.

honda and toyota does best it seems, toyota does better tho
but i see a pattern...kinda obvious one too
big car = bad emission
medium car = medium emisson
small car = good emission

IMO.. i dont care... as long as it has good gas milage and looks decent

but wait a second, I believe according to the link I posted, the gas civic is exactly on par with a freakin neon or cavalier. What gives? Now I'm more concerned with the wacky data. Am I just reading this wrong some how?
