According to the article (I wish I could find it now!), Honda defended the lower mpgs on the older design because they said they were exchanging mileage for horsepower. However, with the developments in hybrid technology over the past few years, hybrid advocates were hoping that Honda would have improved the mpgs while preserving the pep in the redesign, but I guess not.
In Daily Show news, People has the baby announcement. I loved this bit:
Last October, while appearing on David Letterman's Late Show, Stewart expressed some reservations about parenting a daughter. "I don't know that much about women," said Stewart. "A boy child, I feel like I'll know how to deal with it if he has a problem. I'll just be able to say to him, 'Well, repress it,' and he will hopefully swallow that, as I have. And then you figure you have 30 years before it comes out over dinner where somebody spills the gravy and then you're like 'I hate you!'
"A girl, she's going to want me to have tea with her and her panda. Like, what am I going to do with that?" he added.
taunter with your solid foods.
The Accord pairs a powerful V-6 engine with an electric motor for more performance any of it's non-hybrid models, so it's not designed for maximum mileage. I don't think it is a strategy that will pan out, I think people cross-shopping a Camry hybrid (or future Fusion hybrid) vs. an Accord hybrid are going to go with mileage instead of performance. I think people who are looking for performance will just go with the regular V-6 which costs less and doesn't get terrible mileage.
If I had the money lying around...well, I might end up with something not a Honda. But the specs sounded tempting.
Cute speakers. But I'd never use them, instead rolling them into rooms and waiting for them to explode.
Why am I suddenly picturing ita as the guest star in the next big GA?
Having not seen GA yet, all I can do is imagine some sort of Mission Impossible meets GA and that is a weird weird place.
I seem to have beat out the fever!!!
Okay, I have a question for you mathy types. I'm trying to find the area of 4-sided polygon where there are no right angles and each side is a different length. Is there an easy way to do this?
Draw a diagonal and add the areas of the two resulting triangles?
Right now, I love my senators, especially Obama.
