Honda to Offer New Hybrid at Sub-Prius Price
The new car is expected to be the opening salvo in Honda's move to dominate the hybrid industry. Honda hopes to sell 500,000 hybrid vehicles by 2012 between its Civic Hybrid, a hybrid version of its sub-compact Fit, and the new unnamed vehicle.
Despite the announcement being just around the corner, details are scare on the new model. Rumor has it that the car will be priced under $20,000 and will get at least 60 miles to the gallon, which would make it both significantly cheaper and more efficient than the Prius ($21,500 and 48 MPG). The new hybrid will take some design cues from Honda's forthcoming FCX Clarity (pictured above) and will go on sale early next year. [From: Autoblog and AZ Central]

It is time Detroit learned a lesson here. 30mpg is not nearly good enough! 60 mpg is where the competition for future business begins! Let's produce our way out of a nightmare economy. Come on Detroit. Yes, you can produce vehicles that compete with the new Honda generation and do it better and more efficiently. Just use that good old American ingenuity that has been suppressed for so long! Create small, commuter cars that get in excess of 200 mpg (equivalent) just as small companies already are doing. Bring back the EV! concept car and improve it with new technologies (batteries) and lighter components. Yes, we can. Elect Barack Obama who will give incentives to industry replacing oil as a fuel.

Detroit had their chance about 30 years ago. The SUV will be a late footnote in story about the death of American Auto Makers.

What is the deal with all the *insert word*-killer names? Why does every competitor to a product have to a "product killer". Can't it just be competition?

But incorporating blood and murder just make it so much more US-friendly.

America We Are Being FOOLED!!!!!!
We all hate the point where people think they are saving the earth by buying hybrids. But in fact they are destroying it because in 5 or so years they have to bury a battery that is so toxic the US government won't even let the big three build it here. All batteries are built in Japan and Japanese owned for all cars and SUV's made. Whom ever buys a Hybrid needs to consider the fact that the toxic battery in their auto will have to be disposed of in the land that they their Children and Grand children live in. Wait for Hydrogen engines please. You can kiss your Children Goodbye and buy from Japan you fools. These batteries will poison our land and our waters!

We'll just launch the batteries into the Sun you idiot. Duh.
