Re: Camry Hybrid...much more for your gas money
I agree with Nagorak on one point: when you get much larger than the Camry/Accord, you quickly reach the point of diminishing returns with the current generation hybrid technology. GM says that their 2-mode system will solve the up-scaling problem, but we'l have to wait and see.
It seems to me that the Prius/Civic size is the best for the IMA/HSD systems. HSD can probable scale up a *little* more than IMA, which I suppose is why Honda hasn't said anything about planning an IMA Element or IMA Ridgeline.
