If the rear spoiler is any indication, it would seem Honda was just spied taking the 2006 Hybrid out for a drive.

May not be a hybrid in photo. Hybrids now are made only in Japan so if new ones follow, then any test would be in Japan, not US.

New to GreenHybrid - howdy.
The white car on Carconnection and the gray one on the Edmunds sidebar are the same - which I think is the non-hybrid sedan. The Bloomberg article from a month ago said that the hybrid would look distinct from the standard sedan. Which is why I could see the one in the Japanese publication being the hybrid. Note the different taillights.

About the differences Honda plans to differentiate the Hybrid, I would put them in the "minor" category. I don't think Honda has changed it's tune about wanting the Hybrid Civic and the Hybrid Accord to "blend in" with the current model line gas-only versions.
I expect minor differences, nothing major like different taillights - I could be wrong (wont be the last time) but I just think they will keep the differences understated at best......my 2 cents.....
