GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Who would have figured? I thought they always made winners? But, not surprising considering EPA rates it at 28 city/35 highway; not exactly worth the premium price. Shoot my vibe does better than that and is more useful.Read about it: http://www.mercurynews.com/bus...eck=1Any thoughts?

it was fugly anyway and to overpriced for that you got.

The Accord hybrid was designed and marketed as a "performance" vehicle: offering better performance than the V6 Accord with (slightly) better gas mileage. It is a very different beast than the Prius or Civic hybrid - whereas those hybrids are focused on economy, the Accord hybrid idea was to boost engine power and still get decent mileage.I suspect it failed due to:1) People looking for a performance vehicle are not looking at Accords2) The performance and mileage increases over the V6 Accord were not very significant3) Greenies and tech geeks wanting mileage bragging rights were not attracted as the mileage wasn't significantly better than (less powerful, but otherwise comparable) gas-only sedans.In other words, they tried to make it two things and really succeeded at neither.
