There were three of them in my driveway this weekend. Are you just typing random words in this thread?

At around US$40k, on one in Australia bought them. In fact I suspect that the demo car each dealer got was about it. If Honda were losing money on them in the US market then I guess that's a different story, but it still means the car can't stand on it's own merit.

So when you compare the (90 days accumulate) garage entries for hybrids with an upside down Twinair in March, you get quite some distortion in the numbers.

Don't forget how hard the A/C is working in summer on a 44*C day. I actually see my economy at it's worst over Dec-Jan. The worst deficit recorded was with a 2.3 petrol Mercedes, I went from 11-13l/100km to 18! An no there was nothing wrong with the A/C, I think I would have to live way, way up north to see that sort of change from the cold. Besides which, there are cars from similar North American climates on here too.
It's also worth noting that my 500 is possibly the only 50mpg car on here to have seen a race track. It doesn't get babied all the time
