I wouldnt be at all surprised if Honda limited it's hybrids to the smaller vehicles like the Fit and Civic where IMA is very competitive. It can't intrude on Toyota's patents and it certainly won't go the Nissan route and join Toyota by licensing HSD technology.

However there is a hint of Honda's direction already. Diesel.

With the announcement already of a diesel Odyssey V6 in MY 2008 I wouldn't be at all surprised to see diesel Accord options in both the 4c and V6 engines. There's no new revolutionary technology to be introduced, it already exists. Once ULSD is mandatory here and all states allow diesel sales -BLAM - Honda and Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Ford, GM, VW are all in the market with them
