Hi All:

___From all the 06 Civic Hybrid press releases I have read, the new HCH does have an EV mode capability but I have also read in those same HONDA press releases that it will not EV mode from a stop. That defeats a lot of EV’s main purpose so I think they are simply spinning over the ICE from slower speeds but not from a stop. I will try and find the various links later for the exact wording but the one I keyed in on said it would not EV from a stop but from some slow speed on up. Where up is can be anyone’s guess … until someone actually receives one that is

___Good Luck
