The Jetta actually got worse gas mileage than both hybrids while being less responsive and less fun to drive than either of them. It was better than the Echo, but the Echo is a POS anyway.

To ensure this Hybrid gains wider acceptance, the Accord Hybrid is not a penny-pinching, under-powered mileage squeezer. It doesn't have a unique body style or require any compromises. It is a top-line V6 model, with an electric motor supplying additional power, making it not only the fastest Accord - but an Accord with the mileage of a Civic. Jim Miller Senior VP Honda Canada says the company figures the typical Accord Hybrid customer will be a 47-year-old married male with no children still at home and a household income of $110,000. One third of the customers will be current Accord owners and it will serve to attract affluent, educated buyers to the Honda brand. The Accord Hybrid will arrive in Honda stores in December at a price slightly below $40,000. As a "halo" model with all available luxury and power features, it is expected to account for about 3% - 4% of Accord sales.
