You may have missed the boat. CNG vehicles are the hottest vehicles on the market today. A honda Civic that I bought last year for $4700 is now selling for over $13000 with more miles. I saw 1999 Ford trucks go at the government auction on Friday for $20,000 with CNG and the same truck without CNG go for $4900. Good luck in your search but with the high cost of gasoline, CNG cars are demanding a premium price.
I don't know your US state, but following are the sites which I have used for assistance. Happy hunting:
CNG motors in Arizona (updating their site, but often had Hondas for sale in the past): http://www.cngmotors.com/index.php
Pacific Gas & Electric in California (our local CNG company): http://www.pge.com/cleanair/
Southern California Gas: http://www.socalgas.com/business/ngv/
California Natural Gas Vehicle Coalition (very valuable resource, but also updating their website): http://www.cngvc.org/cngvc.html
Natural Gas Vehicle Owners Association: http://ngvoa.com/
Clean Vehicle Education Foundation: http://www.cleanvehicle.org/
Natural Gas Vehicles for America: http://www.ngvc.org/
Honda USA site for Civic GX sales (new): http://automobiles.honda.com/civic-gx/
International Association for NGV (frustrating discovering all the alternatives available around the world when we have so few in US): http://www.iangv.org/
And FuelMaker, of course, though the Phill price jumped through the roof from initial expectations of $1,000 to $1,900 per unit (tax benefits reduce the current $3,500+ price, but...): http://www.fuelmaker.com/Products/NaturalGasRefueling/

Good Luck
Cheaper, much nicer trim levels and electronics and a EPA certified system is available, qualifying for federal and local incentives. Even at $10k (less rebates etc.) for the conversion, it ends up being cheaper than the GX.
Mine is a 2008 Focus 5 speed 2 door SES with leather interior. The CNG system is clearly one of the best I've ever seen.
