I agree with the main argument of the article, it's a no-brainer that these SUV hybrids do not deserve the kind of tax credit the gas sippers get. I think it's okay to hybridize larger vehicles, but also should consider phazing out the conventional model so that the gas saving equipment isn't an option for that size of vehicle. Probably won't ever happen, but we could do it.

I also hope Honda introduces a gas-sipping Accord. This 30 MPG Accord may be fun to drive, but it's a shame to have people point out the fact that it's not really saving much gas. You'd think the company that's so concerned about FE would have done a better job in their flagship model, something to challenge the Prius II.
