Hi Romir:

___Nice find! A few Accord IMA/Prius HSD tricks like an EV mode, off the pack A/C in Autostop and after interior temps have stabilized while the ICE is running or not, 30% larger pack cap in smaller and more shock resistant package, more powerful IMA and ICE for ~ 20% increase in performance (0 - 60 in 10 - 10.5 seconds?), 5% better FE (47 city/53 - 54 highway?), lowest PZEV emissions available anywhere …

___Here is what I really like: Gentle acceleration and high-speed cruising: The engine operating in low-speed valve timing mode powers the vehicle. No IMA for slight accelerations! It is about time Honda figured this out!

___Finally, all in a slightly larger and much nicer looking Civic

___Thanks again and Good Luck
