Hi Flare:

___On the other side of that equation, in 2 years we might actually have the iCDTi based Accord here for our consumption! You remember that one, right? 0 - 60 in a touch > 9 seconds, 76 mpg on a high mileage drive across Germany, and 19 World records for a 2.2 L motor in a consumer purchasable passenger sedan including traveling at 130 miles per hour for something like 24 hours or some other such crazy speed? And all at a price that is less then you can find a Prius II for as of this writing … With its 17 gallon fuel capacity, I can imagine a 19.5 + real tank and Vapor recovery HW capacity. Add in an 80 mpg average and you have another recently broken distance world record added to its list of accolades
