Replying to: fxtool (Dec 27, 2004 10:10 pm) Hi Fxtool,   Please be patient. I only drove 31 miles my graphite HAH from the dealership to my home. And my 2 sons test drove it. Now it is in my garage until Jan 3rd when I drive it to work. I am sure you will enjoy it. Does yours have the NAVI.? It is so fun to drive the HAH with the assistance of the NAVI.

Replying to: gagrice (Dec 27, 2004 7:36 am) I believe the EPA has to give it a SULEV II rating.   I thought the Federal tax deduction for hybrids was based not on emissions rating, but on the fact the hybrids save gas over conventional vehicles? The deduction is to offset the cost of the hybrid components. If you look at the certification letters for other hybrids, emissions are not mentioned, just the point about the cost of the hybrid components.

I thought you had to get 45 mpg combined to qualify. They got the Escape hybrid listed, yet the GMC hybrid PU trucks are not on the list. Maybe the manufacturer has to submit documentation proving an improvement over the conventional car.

Replying to: viet (Dec 27, 2004 4:27 pm) "4 airbags at 4 corners of the HAH"   So you're counting each side-curtain airbag as two airbags? Why? Replies to this message: viet (Dec 28, 2004 11:37 pm)

Replying to: ktnr (Dec 28, 2004 9:24 am) 4 curtain airbags at 4 corners.   2 frontal airbags in front of you.   2 airbags on the sides of the 2 front seats. Tags are on upper side of the seats.   Total 8 airbags.

Unless HAH has it differently from other Hondas/Acuras, I believe the curtain airbags are mounted one on each side but covering front as well as rear. Replies to this message: vinry (Dec 30, 2004 12:32 pm)
#1765 of 3591 What does the electric motor add to the HAH by gagrice Dec 29, 2004 (12:11 pm)
Both the standard 3.5-liter V6 and the VCM-equipped engine are more powerful for 2005, producing 255 hp—a 15-hp improvement—and 250 lb-ft of torque, up from 242 lb-ft.   I have a question what does the electric motor in the Accord Hybrid do? Honda claims the HAH has combined 255 HP. The VCM V6 puts out 255 HP all by itself. Is this a smoke and mirror use of hybrid electric motor?   http://www.autoweek.com/article.cms?articleId=101022 Replies to this message: backy (Dec 29, 2004 1:07 pm) gagrice (Dec 29, 2004 1:37 pm) midnightcowboy (Dec 30, 2004 7:45 pm)

Replying to: gagrice (Dec 29, 2004 12:11 pm) The VCM in the HAH is 3.0L, 255 HP. The VCM in the Odyssey is 3.5L, 255 HP. The electric motor in the HAH boosts a 240 HP, 3.0L gas engine to 255 HP total output. Replies to this message: gagrice (Dec 29, 2004 1:37 pm)
