No word on fuel economy huh? In the age of hybrids, where do they get off on that?

Today we're driving the hybrid green car honey, tomorrow, the 9,500 rpm V8 gas guzzler with the shaker hoodscoop! Sorry, but I can't help but make note of the hypocrisy.

hypocracy? no no no. variety. i am no critic of sports cars and neither is honda.

Looks like the current model Mustang (not the retrofit ones) that has just been smoothed over with import curves.

Well, variety yeah. But think of where they could be if they really cared this much for hybrid. The age of alternative power will have truely arrived once it manages to shake it's grocery getter image.

Honda offers more hybrid models than anyone right now, (3 - whoo hoo!) but they're all economy type cars. What that V8 coupe really needs is not a shaker hood but a hybrid badge. I'll bet that engine has major battery charging capability.

i dont see the resemblance at all... maybe the fact that they both have v8s?? i duno i think it looks a lot like an acura RL...

lnc: i thought they were going to offer the v6 accord as a hybrid? punchy, civil, comfy, and environmentally friendly

[skyline_r34v]

See what I mean though?? Looks similar to it in the front but with the sexy flowing lines and curves of an import.

[bleh]

maybe cus they are both a red/orange kinda? but i still see no resemblance.... the rustang is much chunkier.

Aside from the similar style of the two photos, they seem to share somewhat similar design elements - flared wheel arches, hoodscoop, blackened and mildly swept headlamps, rectangular grill opening, hood creases. A traditional frontal layout.

Otherwise, the two cars look nothing a like.

Thank you, that's what I'm talking about. I was just saying they looked similar but the Honda has the smooth flowing and beautiful lines of an import rather than the abrupt in your face lines of a domestic.
