The hip-hop group Black Eyed Peas will headline the sixth annual Honda Civic Tour and help the automaker promote its new gas-electric hybrid model by giving away a customized car, which the group will help design.

In an announcement Friday that included a performance at the company's American headquarters, members of the group, whose hits include "Let's Get it Started" and "My Humps," said they would showcase the one-of-a-kind, autographed vehicle at each tour stop.

"Honda has been a great supporter and trendsetter in producing environmentally friendly cars, so we are excited about pairing up to bring our live show and sounds out to so many new and longtime fans across the country," said group member Fergie.

The 2006 Honda Civic Tour begins March 23 at the Save Mart Center in Fresno.
