    A rather misleading title if you read the article... It'll lose the hybrid powertrain in North America

    Their new hybrid systems show promise. The Fit hybrid is on par with the Prius c in Japan. The Accord on Fuelly are living up to their EPA rating; which is close to the Prius.

    I'm surprised the CRZ isn't being cancelled. Trying to be efficient and sporty didn't seem to work for it, and it needed to focus more on one. Choice of the performance ICE and more frugal hybrid would be nice, and Honda had it if they had continued the original Insight, but two seaters aren't big sellers to begin with, and those looking at them are more likely looking for performance. Plus, I'd rather get a Fit hybrid first.
