Economy
hybrid cars – new versions of the
Honda Fit and
CR-V, as well as
Hyundai's possible Accent
hybrid – will soon be coming to American shores. At least that's the
rumor bubbling over at
HybridCars. The site has an exclusive interview with an anonymous industry insider who has confirmed the
Fit hybrid will be released in min-2007 and the CR-V hybrid is due later this year. Edmund's suggested that a Fit Hybrid might get 80 mpg and be available to you and me for under $12,000. HybridCars thinks it's more likely to sell a few thousand more, but still less than the
Civic hybrid or the
Prius. Hyundai's economy Accent hybrid is fairly certain to be released in Korea by the end of the year, and Hyundai seems determined to bring it to the U.S. not long after that.
