I have owned around 9 Honda cars and 5 Honda motorcycles since high school.
I currently have a Honda Odyssey and an Accord which I will replace within the next 3 years.
If a very highly efficient Odyssey is not available at that time, sadly, I will be looking elsewhere. I love my Odyssey but the fuel thing is a major factor.

"We've left the research stage and entered the field of development." Kawanabe said these vehicles could hit the US market in about three years.Web Hosting Reviews

To correct some of the posts about the Honda Accord Hybrid from 2005, we had one for 2 years and it averaged 27 mpg overall. Not bad for V8 performance. Too bad the headlights were terrible and the door detents were inadequate to keep the doors open on a slightly pitched road. Also the seats were hard as rocks. That is why we got rid of it after 2 years despite good gas mileage.

Been waiting for a Diesel or Hybrid minivan for 3 years. Have been reading about them for a while. Very impressive writeups;but where are they? We live in N America and there is no sign of these minivans here. 3years are over Mr. Kawanabe. It is time to bring them here.

I think Honda wasted their time with the new Insight, trying to compete w/ the Prius. They should have concentrated hybrid efforts to a mini-van… especially for the American market (I have a feeling that the US is the largest buyers of mini-vans). Toyota already had the market on the small passenger vehicle hybrid. I see a lot of older Odysseys around and if most other owners are like me, I have no desire to purchase another unless it’s a hybrid. And overall in regards to hybrids… if there are hybrid SUV’s sold in the US, why in the heck not a mini-van???????

WE want a HYBRID MINIVAN now…. we are ready to trade our honda pilot for a hybrid minivan. I think it will be a real hit especially now that gas prices are going up and i think it will stay up for awhile.. along while.

My husband has been driving a Toyota Prius since giving up his Honda Accord (his 2nd and he had loved them) ... it's been over 2 yrs. now. Our son also had a Honda Civic he loved but now drives a Toyota.

My husband absolutely loves the Prius -- he is almost 6' 4" tall, so not a small guy. This little car has a lot more room in it that I would ever have guessed ... we often have 4 people riding in it. It always gets at least 40 mpg and when the temperature is over 50 F. outside (we live in the upper midwest) it often gets over 55 mpg. Unbelievable! It also does fine in the snow unless it is really deep, but then we shouldn't be out, right?

I drive a Lexus and did not get the hybrid when I bought it ... I bought it prior to the Prius purchase. I am considering trading it in for a hybrid model, perhaps even the Toyota Highlander instead of the Lexus so I can have seats for 6. Yes, we were also loyal Honda customers before, but they are just not serious about hybrids. Toyota has beaten everyone at it in our opinion.
