255hp Accord Hybrid

Old news, but I just got this in my email newsletter from Honda- so I'm sure that quite a few of you got it too. I honestly think it's pretty sweet, considering the market that they're targetting with this car. Read the news bulletins- they contain the more information than you'll find browsing through the pretty (and useless) little tabs on the site.

I had never thought about seriously buying a new car until now. I wonder what the price tag looks like?

Probably around the same or a bit more than the EX V6 sedan. I can't imagine they'd charge TOO much for it.. they still want to sell a good number of them.

thats insane for a car that weighs over 3000 lbs

I'm not really up to date, but is that pretty ahead of the pack on gas mileage goes whil keeping power?

I work over at Honda in the Parts department behind the counter, several of us would like to see this car Toyota/Lexus is coming out with. Its a V8 hybrid. Iam gussing no torque using the motor American's love and guessing around 38-40mpg. I really can't wait until we get a SUT. Those I think will be hot.
