New Honda Hybrid
In 2009, Honda will add a new hybrid which it hopes will help it close the gap with Toyota. Seating five, it will be a five-door model with an exterior design similar to Honda's sleek FCX Clarity fuel-cell car, which the company is leasing later this year in the U.S. and Japan in small numbers. "This hybrid vehicle will be chosen rationally by customers based on its economic benefit," says Honda CEO Takeo Fukui. Annual production is scheduled to be 200,000 vehicles a year, about half of which will be sold in the U.S.
