I didn't elaborate very well on what I meant. Recently if you wanted a larger hybrid sedan than a Prius/Civic you had to go all the way to the Accord. The price difference between the HCH and HAH was significant - ~$21K and ~32-33K IIRC. That's a big jump. I'm guessing that folks who wanted a Camry/Accord sized hybrid but didn't want to pay that much only had the Civic/Prius to appeal to. Now there's something that fits very nicely in the middle. So I think you'll get a lot of folks who wanted an HAH sized vehicle but didn't want the price and were going to settle on a Civic/Prius, or your going to get folks who had their eye on a Prius/Civic but for ~4K more could get one size up. I suppose it will attract from both ends. It does, however, address the huge price gap between HCH and HAH. I expect it to be popular.
