Looks like Honda is dedicating more energy and development on an all new hybrid vehicle. This hybrid is not going to share a body style with another existing vehicle… like their last hybrids did (civic, accord, etc…). This hybrid will be available in the fall of 2009 and Honda expects to ship only 100,000 units to the US per year. Finally the Prius will have some competition… which ironically looks just like the Prius.
