Not every hybrid is going to be a winner, and the Accord may be headed for extinction because it offers no fuel economy over the base model and costs $12,000 more.
Gee, I wonder why people aren't buying them? What was Honda thinking -- that a little extra acceleration and the "hybrid tag" would blind consumers?
I did a double take when I saw that the MPG ratings for the hybrid Accord (25/34) is almost identical to the automatic standard version (24/34), and LESS than that of the manual transmission (26/34). Someone in Honda marketing has serious dain bramage.
In similar news, the Black Eyed Peas have their own custom branded Civic hybrid model.

Good find. I love the truth.
Too bad that they didn't point out that the hybrid create half the pollution of the standard model? Also Honda markets the Accord as an ecologicical performance option.
On a side note. Memoranda is side Honda states that this whole Gas/eletric hybrid trend is just that. A trend. Most of Honda's alternative fuel R&D dollars are going into fuel cell technology.
And yes I am biased, and informed.
Yeah, but who's gonna drive a car that more expensive with nothing extra except less emmissions??? A smug environmentalist asshole.
Like every other idiot hybrid drive.
