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.

Pat Robertson's grasp of Sartre is truly inspiring to behold.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. I'm trying to figure the acreage of our non-standard shaped lot.
