2015 Accord hybrid



I bet this is the first sighting in this thread.

I also bet that's because only a diehard Accord fan would be able to tell a hybrid from regular at a glance.

I actually heard it before I knew what kind of car it was -- I had my head down, tidying up the new-to-me beater Echo. The hybrid/EV/Jetsons sounds the Honda made while approaching a turn, and then driving away on e-power made me look up.

And then I thought, "Huh. A new Accord hybrid. Never seen one before, and probably won't again."

Oh, and I also saw my first BMW i8 on the 401 a couple of months ago. No pic. Fantastic looking. I might have drooled a little.
