Honda confirmed today that late next year the Honda Fit will be
arriving in the showrooms with a hybrid model.

President Fukui also indicated that 2 other hybrid models would
be available - a sport performance car and along with the 2nd
generation of the hybrid Civic.

He said for certain that Honda would not explore plug-in Hybrids
in the near future and subtly indicated that Honda would stick
to nickel-metal hydride batteries.


Volkswagen reacted by dropping their plans to make a hybrid
vehicle anytime soon.       Rumor is VW felt their customers where
not going to pay the huge addtional cost for the vehicle, especially
when consumers could choose a less expensive reliable Honda.
