Speaking of my favorite brand of foreign automobile, while I haven't checked the fuel efficiency or if an optional engine is available, the new Honda CRV sport utility is about the slickest looking vehicle of its kind. Believe it or not, while possibly a bit larger, the new Saturn Vue SUV is also one sharp looking vehicle. What's your take, David? Fritz

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.
