No More Accord Hybrids
Honda has opted not to introduce a hybrid version of the Accord when the next-generation is released this fall.
Honda says that it has decided to change plans to produce a new Accord Hybrid and instead, the 2009 Accord Diesel version will be in its place.
The problem with that is, well there's the Toyota Camry Hybrid, Nissan Altima Hybrid, Saturn Aura Hybrid and in the future, Ford Fusion Hybrid, Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid and a possible Chrysler Sebring/Dodge Avenger Hybrid. But the Accord Hybrid never got good mileage anyways and it would be good for Honda to focus on something that really gets good mileage.
Honda has also said that it will leave gasoline-electric models to the Civic and another new model in 2009.
Honda will also introduce diesel versions for its other vehicles in North America in 2009.
Stay tuned.
