Car Forum / Honda Cars / November 2005Accord Hybrid
Hello All! Just wondering if anyone knows if Honda is planning on releasing a more economical Accord Hybrid? The new Accord Hybrid is a V6, with a focus on power and performance. I wonder if they thought of making an Accord, nice but conservative, in an economical 4 cylinder hybrid setup. It would also presumably, be CHEAPER. (I always wonder if manufacturers monitor what kind of discussions go on about their cars on usenet? They could get a feel for what consumers want!)

They could get a feel for what consumers want!) A manual transmission would be great. My two big gripes about the Accord Hybrid is the bad radio and the lethargic automatic transmission. Two seconds to downshift from 5th to 3rd or 2nd to 1st is not acceptable. Stomp on the gas at 42MPH and it can actually loose speed before the transmission finally shifts and the electronic throttle opens. |
