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.
