I totally disagree with ignoring the age of the car. Your advice is fine for a new car but you seem to have missed the entire point of this thread which is to examine the longevity aspects of both the Honda and Toyota systems.

I did not intend for this to be another new working perfectly IMA vs HSD thread. You are supposed to imagine that the packs and perhaps other parts are failing and then decide which system you would rather have in an old car that is past the warranty.

Please do not sidetrack this thread and talk about perfectly working systems.
