I'm wondering if Acura is planning to introduce a hybrid?
Lexus has come on board as has Toyota. My next car will
be a hybrid and I'd sure like to buy another TL.

Don't think it's going to happen any time soon. Acura doesn't have any hybrid models/option. Only Honda.

 

And with Honda discontinuing the Accord Hybrid, it doesn't look promising. Honda will be offering a 2009 Accord Diesel.

 

It seems to me that performance & gas-efficiency don't really go hand in hand ... LOL

I guess that's a trade-off we all have to live with ... I drive my wife's RXH when my green conscience is calling ...

 

Still.... if we can somehow get our hands on the hybrid system from accord hybrid, can we install this system into our TL? just curious:P

 

Seems like diesels get better "all-around" fuel economy than hybrids. A friend of mine has a couple diesel VW's in his family as well as a diesel Ford E-350 van that he uses for towing his boat. He swears by diesel. I may look at the Honda diesel when I'm due for another car. I guess it all depends on gas prices. If gas goes to and stays in the $4 area in Chicago that is when I start looking for an economy minded car.
