I am very glad that Honda is
I am very glad that Honda is coming out with this CR-V hybrid. I do believe that it is overdue, and it should be a plug-in model. But I suspect that it will be a sales hit regardless. I only wonder how much more it will cost. The Accord Hybrid is a meager $1450 over the base car, whereas the Clarity plug-in hybrid costs nearly $10K more before subsidies, but the price difference is relatively small once those are figured in. Acura has offered hybrid models, but none of them are PHEVs either and they are all pitched as "Sports Hybrid" in a similar way that BMW sells their hybrid models as green performance. Acura shows off their hybrid NSX as their green flagship model, and it does look great! If they keep the CR-V price low like the Accord hybrid, it should be wildly successful.
