    article says "Honda will produce 200,000 units of the new hatchback in Japan. It will be launched on Earth Day, April 22" - Wonder if launched = shipping in the USA ?

    it sure looks like you people (USA) are getting a honda hybrid in April 2009, while we suckers just have to wait and wait and obviously pay $10k more than you.

    Let me make a prediction. The new Honda Hybrid will "fly off the lots". It will outsell production. There will be waiting lists. Prices may be above list (so much for "less expensive than...").

    Yup, from the top of the mountain, I am an oracle. ;)
