#41 of 3591 Accord NAVs already have Bluetooth .. by midnightcowboy Feb 23, 2004 (9:53 am)
I think the Hybrid Accord will be more of a top line Accord, along the lines of the 6-speed V6 Coupe with Nav. It will probably have few special featurs that the other Accords don't have, an extra charging battery gauge, probably a trip computer and they will probably add HIDs   Anything the current Prius has the Accord Hybrid will have because I think it's main drive will be to blow the Prius demand away by statisfying the main thing the Prius lacks, performance.   The other Accords should still be available and the price differential will make them still attractive to a slightly different audience.

Wow, those Japanese...gotta give them Kudos!!   Toyota is already on it's second generation Hybrid Synergy Drive and America's BIG 2 1/2 are making bigger V8s!!   Nissan is leasing the 2nd gen HSD from Toyota to put into their Altima in a couple of years, while Chevy is making a Series 4 3800 engine!!   Word is that Toyota will put the HSD technology into the Sequioia and Sienna and more cars soon. Heck, I'm soo excited for this new Accord!   Hmm, Chevy boasts that their 3500 V6 in the Malibu makes the most MPG in it's class. Interestingly, that engine is outdated, slightly rough on the edges, and makes -20 to 40HP below the imports. Now the 240HP Accord gets even more HP with Hybrid technology and better MPG to boot. Add that to one of the midsize segment's best interiors, Honda quality and reliability, and all that luxury and you've got an awesome car!

I couldn't agree more, including your comparison of western vs. easter ideology.   I currently have a 2003 LX that I love very much, but I just got a promotion and the allure of this Hybrid may just warrant an upgrade.

If it comes out at the right time, I may actually turn around on the way to the Lexus dealer and drive to the Honda dealer to buy one.
#45 of 3591 I'm kinda curious by tblazer503 Mar 03, 2004 (3:17 pm)
does the 3500 in the malibu come from Honda? =oP   I know the new VUE has the Honda 3.5L v-6 that is tweaked down a bit...   I actually am very impressed with the Hybrid Honda... if it breaks down, it should be able to be repaired normally, the only problem would be the synergy drive where the dc motors couple with the transmission... I hear you will get the same(roughly) 3.0l engine but adding on the motors... 300HP would be great... hehe. guess ill just have to wait and see....

NO the 3.5 in the malibu is not the Honda Motor. It is a bored out old 3.4 push rod motor.   THe 3.5 in the VUE is from honda and it is no tweaked down at all it is the same 250hp that you get in the MDX and the Pilot.

tblazer,   Honda has already said the Accord Hybrid will be powered by the existing 3.0L V6.   I believe they have also released initial power specs of 270bhp.
#48 of 3591 Wish List by webster7 Mar 07, 2004 (7:26 am)
I currently own a 2001 Civic HX with CVT. Like the Mexicans who drool over new cars for a spot in their lives in ten years, I probably wont be able to afford a 2005 Accord Hybrid for six or seven years. I hope Honda includes Auto Heat Control, CVT(I'll never drive another transmission) and power everything. I think the mileage will depend a lot on how you drive the Accord Hybrid. Personally, I like good acceleration for around town and entering highways and I like forty MPG on a long trip. This new car sounds like my wish come true.
#49 of 3591 Accord hybrid yes by rfruth Mar 07, 2004 (2:59 pm)
The Accord Hybrid might be just the ticket for me but make mine with a manual gearbox and i'm in Houston so no auto heat anything please.

i don't see a manual being offered with the hybrid accord. maybe a CVT though.
