TheCarConnection.com's spies just caught Honda's hybrid-only model that's designed to take on the Toyota Prius. The shape and packaging of this prototype is clearly Prius-inspired, although the overall size looks larger than Toyota's hybrid favorite. The test group consisted of a Toyota Prius, Honda's face-lifted Civic Hybrid, and this prototype, which is sure to be considered the top of Honda's hybrid vehicle range.--KGP Photography

I wouldn't be surprised if they used ACTUAL Prius body panels for this...LMAO...WTF!

The prius has worked great for Toyota, but copying its ugly shape so shamelessly will NOT work fro Honda.
They Still do NOT get it. Hybrid drivers pay aN ARM AND A LEG above similar non-hybrid cars and want to LOOK different as well, and at the time that Toyota is coming out with its THIRD generation Prius, Honda buyers sure WILL NO|T accept that their honda hybrid looks like Toyota's OLD NEWS Prius II!
Get a grip, Honda!!!

I'm laughing so hard I had to close the door to my office.
What a joke! I don't think honda has designers on staff just people that trace.

I have to agree with 'paul gs', I think it will more like the Clarity than anything.

honda should seriously consider a Fit Hybrid....I bet this new hybrid wiil cost more than 30K. We need affortable hybrids here, hybrids these days are just too expensive!

I agree with the often spoken (written?) consensus that the car looks too much like a Prius. But maybe that's Honda's intent? Manufacturers go to great lengths to disguise their cars.
However, the car seems to have been shot in Death Valley. Honda's R&D center is near Mojave and it's been my observation that Honda's seldom roam on public roadways since they have such a big playground of their own. However, it gets far hotter in Death Valley then Mojave, so maybe they couldn't resist trying out that newfangled hybrid AC system to the max ...

Are you sure this isnt a Prius? Looks like a Prius!Look at the badge on the grille (covered in tape)-its round and last time I checked the Honda symbol was not quite square!

1 word - disappointed. The reason my wife and I bought the Civic Hybrid was looked good and Escape hybrid was for function (hauling large objects - the home depot runs). I saw spy photos earlier that were of the Honda Airwave rumored to be the next hybrid, which I was excited about, looked good, would be functional and have good mileage. I don't want to see another Prius on the road.

The grille is exactly like the Clarity. The dash also appears to be like a Civic. It's a double-decker with the speedo on top.
