Honda recently announced that it will no longer offer a hybrid version of the Honda Accord after the 2007 model year. According to Honda spokesperson Sage Marie, "Consumers respond to that big fuel economy number and our hybrid technology is most optimally suited for smaller, more efficient packages."
Honda will continue to offer the Civic hybrid and also plans to introduce a new hybrid vehicle within two years. "We still see continued potential and opportunity in the hybrid market," Marie said.
