Honda's new hybrid campaign: Had to laugh

A Prius or Honda's new hybrid

Of course this is a Toyota Prius, but after having had a look at the spyshots of what many are calling Honda's new hybrid, it might soon be hard to tell the difference between the Prius and Honda's upcoming new hybrid vehicle.

While it seems quite plausible that size and aerodynamics forced Honda's design hand, I couldn't help but laugh when I read some copy Honda has out on its latest hybrid. "Our newest hybrid is a futuristic five-door hatchback that sports a unique style and sleek design."

Perhaps Honda has a design trick up its sleeve, but if the new pictures floating around the Internet are accurate, I'm not sure "unique" is very accurate. Anyway, we will soon find out the truth about Honda's new hybrid design as the vehicle should join Honda's current fleet of hybrid cars in "early 2009."
