Default Accord Hybrid

Anyone getting one, or already have one?

I sincerely hope it gets mated to a 5 speed or a 6 speed manual in the near future. I'd see myself owning that car, although the lack of a spare is kinda aggravating.

It is such a damn cool car...37MPG and 255 horsepower. I guess it's quite a bit faster than a standard Accord V6.

Oh yeah, it'll kick a regular V6 Accord's butt any day of the week.

The Accord hybrid I purchased does indeed have a spare tire. The batteries are directly behind the rear seat. The brochure claims one was not available. Could be a mistake with the literature or perhaps the Canadian spec models come equipped differently.

Interesting, the one at the car show had some sort of a flat repair kit in the trunk. Do you have any pictures of your car? I personally believe the car would sell a lot better if they made it a standard transmission car.

Sorry, but they'll never but a manual in an Accord Sedan.

No problem, give me a couple days to take some photos. I'm not the most computer savvy individual, so if someone could post the pictures for me that would be great. In the meantime this is a post a few weeks ago. We picked up both cars at the same time and took some pictures. Most of the photos are of my six speed, but the first photo is of the hybrid.

Nice cars you have there, once you have the pictures just click on Manage Attachments. Then you can browse and upload all the pictures to the site. Its pretty easy, if you have trouble just post and we'll walk you through.
