Honda's new offerings

I know we pretty much exclusively drive used cars here, but these will be used eventually. It looks like Honda is packing a whollop in the comming years with a new dedicated hybrid (Prius competitor), new Civic hybrid, sport hybrid based off the CRZ concept, and a Fit hybrid (this car is already amazing without being a hybrid)! They're also planning on the hybrid premium only being around $2000 so the price hit won't be bad at all. Here is the press release:

This is good news for sure. I'm glad to see that they're slowly moving away from the 100% IC engines and starting to look elsewhere. Maybe some other manufacturers should start thinking along the same lines and not charge people out the wazoo for the extra fuel savings.
