Accord
hybrid versus the Camry hybrid

Hybrid
Competition Heats Up, A little
Slowly, albeit very slowly, competition amongst hybrid
cars is building.
Already we have the Toyota
Highlander hybrid versus the Ford
Escape hybrid versus the Lexus
RX 400h, as well the Toyota
Prius versus the Honda
Civic hybrid, and soon we'll have the Toyota
Camry hybrid versus the Honda
Accord hybrid.
Both the Accord and the Camry are already top selling
cars in America. So, how will the hybrid battle
between these two champions play out?
Unfortunately, it probably won't be much of a battle.
The Accord hybrid is a performance hybrid, offering
some of the best performance of any Accord. For the
power offered, the Accord hybrid offers good fuel
efficiency. Ultimately, however, the hybrid Accord was
built to perform on the highway, not to set fuel
efficiency records.
The Camry hybrid, on the other hand, will offer
significant gains in both fuel economy and pollution
reductions compared to a standard Camry. While the
hybrid Camry will still perform well, it wasn't
designed for 0 to 60 supremacy, however the hybrid
Camry should offer exceptional fuel efficiency.
Ironically, the real competition in the hybrid vehicle
wars will probably be between the Camry hybrid and the
Prius.
