For your information there are a few things I would have wanted in the HAH myself. None are related to radio reception. 1. Is a low tire pressure warning system: I wonder how well the little air pump works when you accidently ruined the tire by running it on the rim. 2. Sunroof 3. Trailer hitch for my kayaks and a few other things. I say there are likely as many wants as buyers and HAH can't do them all. All in all the machine does have a ton of HIGH tech. Gene B.
#5 of 8 How To "fix" next generation accord hybrid by autoboy16 May 21, 2006 (6:16 pm)
Here are 10 things honda can do to increase sales or mpg on the accord hybrid are to 1. Use a bigger fuel tank. Thats the biggest problem with the fit's mpg. 2. Use the 4 cyl engine instead of the 6 3. Price it somewhere between the lx special edition and the ex 4 with nav about $25k instead of 32k to be competitive against the TCH (toyota camry hybrid) 5. Use the lx's features with some upgrades 6. Reduce the drag more by increasing the aerodynamics 7. Don't use the civics style 8. GO ON A DIET AND LOOSE SOME WEIGHT 9. Use a bigger battery to go further on electricity. 10. DONT FOLLOW THE INSIGHT 100%.   here are 4 dos and dont's   DO: Use a CVT Offer a manual tranny extend the eco-mode give yourself room to grow   DONT' have a minimalist design use a v6 start price in the 30k lie with the mpg and hp ratings   Any questions comments or concerns, Agreements, Disagreements Replies to this message: gagrice (May 21, 2006 8:12 pm) autoboy16 (May 22, 2006 11:48 am)

Replying to: autoboy16 (May 21, 2006 6:16 pm) GO ON A DIET AND LOOSE SOME WEIGHT Use a bigger battery to go further on electricity   I've lost some weight but the Accord hybrid is still a porker. Adding more battery will increase the already overweight car. The IMA design does not allow much battery only operation.   I got a better idea. Dump the Accord hybrid and offer that great diesel Accord that the EU is loving. Replies to this message: autoboy16 (May 22, 2006 11:48 am)

Replying to: gagrice (May 21, 2006 8:12 pm) Works for me ... especially when diesel falls back down to the $2.80 range and more pumps are open. Hope fully a turbo diesel like the TDI jetta.   Also honda should use the insights sheet metal and the s2000 push button start to keep it with the TCH

1. Needs a moonroof 2. Better suspension, my 05 rides like a rock. 3. Softer leather seating 4. More trunk space 5. Better transmission, with a hybrid motor this car drives like crap in the city. 6. Has a V6 and they need to keep it that way....
