No More Accord Hybrid !!!!

Re: No More Accord Hybrid !!!!
Do the Lexus hybrids have any badges? I was behind one today and all I saw was 400h, or whatever the designation is. Seeing the H made me think it was a hybrid.

That 400h looks pretty nice. I'd prefer that over the Hilander based on styling. Although, the added premium would keep me in the Hilander.
Actually, I'd prefer an Acura MDX hybrid. That would be a cool vehicle.

Well, the source article for this whole thread only spoke of cutting production, not killing it. We sort of took it from there, for a myriad of reasons, mostly rehashing and hearing ourselves talk. I don't think any of us seriously thought that Honda would kill off the species after a 2-year run, given the investment in the product. Once Honda goes down a path it largely sticks to it.
Hopefully they are hard at work figgerin' how to cram the 4-cylinder with tranny and IMA under the hood. As has been said many times before, THAT would be an instant 800lb gorilla.

I can not understand this. Honda is going crazy when I was looking to buy this car in a 2006 body style there were only 2 dealers in Chicago with 2006 with Navi and that was a total of 2 cars. Now honda wants to cut production what are they thinking. Honda needs to get the dealers to stop trying to charge sticker for the cars. I will say that i found a few deals on 2005 HAH that were left on dealers lots but that was because they were charging sticker for the car for the first 8 months of production. Honda tell dealers to pass on savings to customer and the cars will move off of the lots. I love this car and the power it has. I smile every time I hit the gas and still get 28mpg.

The other nearby Honda dealer (Westbrook Honda) still has a couple of '05 HAH's that they said they were willing to deal on. But since the '05 doesn't have the moonroof or VSA, I stuck with the '06.

"VMA131"... I thought they decommed when the A-4 was taken out of service? Harriers now?

I was in 131 from 1983 to 1987.
I'm really glad I found this forum. I came across it completely unexpectedly while searching for hints and tips for getting the most out of my new HAH.
