I'm concerned because I have a 98 accord coupe that not only is on its second transmission(excluded from the 00/01 100k warranty offer) but also seems to have trouble starting due to a fuel problem.

Maybe the hickups I have been experiencing while cruising at 40-50 mph are fuel pump -related?

x10It's obvious that Honda was thinking about this long before Lexus was. They're just don't open their mouths about it until they have something to show.
And AcuraFan is right about the Dualnote. That was way before any Toyota performance hybrid.

Well quite frankly, I kinda laugh at both of them marketing the "performance" of an Accord or RX 400h. These are as far from performance cars as you can get, lol.
No ONE has an answer to the S 2000. THe S 2000 is usually a winner or close 2nd in comparos. And no other car shares it's driving experience with the high revving. Truly a wonderful car.
I don't think Toyota has yet to answer the S2K...oh right they have the MR2.

Put the gun down. 
All I know is I think it is genius by both companies to use this strategy since people think hybrid=slow ugly ass car :gaylaugh:

I didn't realize this was also going to use cylinder shut off, I think that really seperates honda from the rest of the market and marketing it as a high end accord is a great idea. I just hope it has high end features other than the engine.

Me too...HIDs, more lavish interior (lid for the cupholders, for instance...). I would've liked to see a refreshed rear and front...something along the line of a formal front grille and LED taillights.

Posted this over on a-tsx as well, but
http://www.acura-tsx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11571
Looks like 32/38 as compared to 21/30 of today's V6. Looks like the VCM gets you 8 on the top highway end and the IMA is doing at 11 MPG on the city stuff.
Also note the comment on 255HP, etc.

Because for a car the size of an Accord, that's a really good number. Add in that it actually has some power (255hp) and I'd say that number is outstanding.

Compared to our car it's a lot more!
32MPG city means you'll get close to 500 miles on a tank all the time.
Most people who city drive the CLS are lucky to do 300ish.

2005 Honda Accord (US Version)???
Where can I find info on the charges honda is making to the 05 accord. I think I saw a post justin made months ago about the confirmed changes honda is making to their lineup but I can't seem to find anything relevant when I search for "2005 accord".

Heres a clip of the previous post.
Accord
Illuminated steering wheel controls for audio/cruise functions
Restyled alloy wheels
Side curtain airbags on ALL models
Slightly revised reverse light
Available Hybrid model
The revised rear lights may look like the hybrid rear lights. Do a search to find them.

98AccordEx - thanks for the reply. that was the info I was looking for. I have already seen the hybrids rear lights. I don't know which is worse, the current accords lights or the hybrids lights.
