The style of the rear matches the look Honda has for the 2009 FIT.

The wheels look like that of the FIT in that picture, too.

Wow, I didn't even notice that. I'd say they are exactly the same.

I think it's safe to say that it's a FIT HYBRID.

Even the wheels look the same.

[EDIT] Duh about the wheels... I should read the posts before me. lol.

that is the interior of the civic, and most likely a civic hybrid at that.

...that's what I said.

The Fit Hybrid's interior (the dash anyway) looks like a Civic's interior from what I can tell in the 7th picture, looking through the passenger window.

Speedometer on top, tach on bottom. Let me reiterate:

Your attention to the driver's console.

Motor Trend magazine now has the photos: "The all-new, as-yet-unnamed Honda hybrid, while still wearing a fair amount of camouflage, bears a striking resemblance to Toyota's Prius Hybrid, especially the greenhouse, but it also clearly takes more than a few cues from the Japanese automaker's FCX Clarity fuel cell sedan, which Honda said the vehicle would borrow many of its design elements from. The new Honda hybrid is expected to undercut both the Prius and Honda's own Civic Hybrid in the pricing department. The new global hybrid is scheduled to hit dealerships in late 2009 as a 2010 model"

that interior pic is NOT a civic hybrid. it doesnt have the charge/assist gauge and no automatic climate control.. its a civic EX. and i dont think that test mule is a Fit either.. its too long to be a Fit. i think it is the new honda hybrid which they claimed it will look like a FCX clarity in a 5 door hatchback form.. but it looks awfully similar to the prius!

Holy crap it looks just like a Prius. The rear hatch, the space on the sides of the license plate space, the rear wiper, only thing different is the mirrors and wheels

Also notice the white Prius in the 2nd picture....
