Rep Power: 322 Available in sedan only, and yes, there is a bump in power/torque and in gas-mileage. Awesome car, although I'd prefer a coupe version because I don't like the style of the sedan's rear.

Rep Power: 504 Electric motors make maximum torque at 0rpm. How does that come into play when combined with a gas engine?

Rep Power: 279 what are you people talking about the gas mileage isnt that good. It has a 37mpg rating on the highway which under realistic conditions would put it at lets say 29-30mpg. Thats what I get on my civic now and I have 115hp not 255. I'd kill to have that kinda fuel economy with that kinda hp. I just wish it came in a stylish coupe not an old mans sedan.

Rep Power: 0 The weight is about the same between the V6 accord and the V6 Accord Hybrid. I think it would be a wise choice to buy a hybrid car since gas prices are so high these days. 255 hp from a Hybrid car is a lot. Lots of Power and excellent fuel mileage, you get the best of both worlds.

Rep Power: 504 If you do the math I think you would need to get about 140,000 miles on the Accord hybrid in order to make it worth the extra money you pay for it vs. the regular Accord V6.
