What comes out of the tailpipe is DIRTIER than a PZEV hybrid.   The reason GNC rates at the top is that the overall well-to-wheel emissions are lower.   JOHN

Why in the world would someone buy a hybrid with 209,000 miles on it? Unless Toyota bought it back for PR purposes.   And, if I'm afraid to drive to the middle of nowhere in my new hybrid, what's the point?   Lastly, what will I do when gas hits $2 or $3 or $4 a gallon? Pay it. I am sorry to say I am old enough to remember pumping gas for 28 cents a gallon, and telling friends that I'd never pay a dollar a gallon!   Like everyone else, I hope that technology gives us a good alternative to the internal combustion engine, but these hybrids aren't it, at least not for midsize sedans (in my opinion, of course). However, steps are being made in the right direction, and hopefully in my lifetime, we'll get there.

If gas went to $3.33 a gallon, first, I'd stop thinking about buying a luxury car, and keep my Civic. I'd keep the Odyssey, but only for long highway trips. Then, I'd buy a Prius, Civic Hybrid, or Accord Hybrid, and use it as my daily driver. There. All planned out.

> Why in the world would someone buy a hybrid with 209,000 miles > on it? Unless Toyota bought it back for PR purposes   Good guess, but not quite.   They bought it back for RESEARCH purposes. The data that battery-pack contained was quite valuable.   JOHN
#35 of 3591 Is Honda Hybrid going to be competitive with Toyota HSD? by wco81 Feb 17, 2004 (1:28 pm)
People seem to be deriding the current system in the Civic Hybrid as inferior to the Toyota CVT and HSD design.   Is that really the case and will the Accord Hybrid use the Civic Hybrid design?

Let's stick to the Accord hybrid here... plenty of other existing discussions about hybrids in general.
#37 of 3591 Accord Hybrid pricing by jchan2 Feb 17, 2004 (3:17 pm)
any word on how much $$$$ the Accord Hybrid will cost?

Is the Accord Hybrid going to be an optional vehicle, or the only version of the Accord available?   Johnny
#39 of 3591 2 part question by mwaddo Feb 18, 2004 (9:30 am)
First:    ramped1 asked "...what will happen if your hybrid breaks down in the middle of nowhere". Actually, what would happen? If something goes wrong with the electric part of the motor, can the car still run on its "regular" gas engine? I assume the regular gas engine could be repaired as any normal gas engine could be.   Second:   Does anyone think the Hybrid Accord will have any addition features the other Accords don't have? For example, do you think they will try to differentiate the models with HID's, Bluetooth, bigger wheels, etc. Does the Civic hybrid have any features not available on other Civics?
#40 of 3591 Not sure about the Accord's features...BUT by maxamillion1 Feb 20, 2004 (8:52 pm)
The Civic Hybrid does have fancier chrome materials in the interior and it has 14 inch alloy wheels (EX has 15 inch alloys) and it has automatic climate control.
