So I have been watching outgoing gen Accords since we talked, almost every one I see out on the road is a hybrid...I've seen probably 10 in the last couple days, only one was the 2.0T. My guess is the take rate on the hybrid is part of what made Honda decide to just double down on that. 0-60 in 6.7 seconds in the 2022 Accord Hybrid, so very similar.
I don't think that being mostly hybrid is necessarily just an Accord issue.....partial or full-electrification of almost all drivetrains is clearly the wave of the future.

They said the same thing though "If a car to you is transportation meant to get you here and there as efficiently as possible, the 2023 Accord nails it" and thats exactly who its marketed towards.

They make the high end and sport models in the hybrid too. You have to look for the hybrid badge in addition. To the Sport or Touring badge. My guess is a lot of the ones you see are actually hybrids.

I will have to look around me to see what Accords and Camrys I see most. The Camrys I notice most are the sport models because I feel they look a little over the top for a Camry but that doesn’t mean there are more of them. I’ll report back with my anecdotal views.

No not even close. The Toyota/Lexus hybrid system is the best and it's not close.

lol what the heck? I thought the 2021 Sport had a V6. I only rode in it once as a passanger so I guess I mustve forgot. But dang I thought they had a V6. Man they are rally skimping out on the engines.
