So far no Honda hybrid owners have had to pay for the hybrid batteries, Honda claims. Maybe not quite true, but it seems like Honda usually absorbs at least some of the cost.

Maybe not full price. I seem to remember someone posting they ended up paying $500 for work done on the car including a battery replacement.

Why? Is the 8 year warrenty something new?

Oh I know...they did what was discussed in another tread and hooked up a Tesla coil to the battery to shock all the SUV drivers, causing damage to the battery

8 year or 80,000 miles right? Some people have exceeded the 80,000 miles bit.
