2010 new Honda hybrid spied
Spy Photos: 2010 Honda Hybrid Compact Coupe
Great. Bigger than a prius. So much for a lightweight, smaller insight-like fuel saving model. I guess they're going to try an do battle with the Prius. Toyota's new plug-in prius for 2010 is a crock going only 7 miles on electric only. The hefty weight of NiMh batteries means it cost $50 cents-$1.00 in electricity to charge the batteries after 7 miles. If a gallon of gas gets you 46 mpg in the current prius for $4.50 a gallon. 7 miles for 75 cents is about the same cost per mile. No cost savings then, just a marketing gimmick for the uneducated. Hybrids need lighterweight vehicles using LiIon batteries. Until then, I'm not buying another hybrid. I still have my deposit on this vehicle that I found out about last December. This is a vehicle that is not designed by mainstream manufacturers trying to protect their service departments by giving them a maintenance intensive ICE. Or, influenced by oil industry lobbyists who fight to keep the CAFE satndards as low as possible.
