Default Has Honda/Acura made any announcements about hybrids in the Acura line?

I am thinking of buying a new car. It will be Hybrid. I want a Acura TL but may have to go to Honda accord to get hybrid. would wait some for a Acura Hybrid. Can't find any info on Acura hybrids or plans.

None in the plans according to my Acura dealer. I guess they want us to only buy luxury cars from them. You would think Acura would take a hint from Lexus.

I'm not sure about what they may be making however...I did see a Civic hybrid on the road the other day. I said to myself "Wow, they have a civic hybrid. Honda has a hybrid." I do know that they have made the RDX which is turbocharged.

No. At this time Acura believes alternative fuel source is the way to go. I don't know what they have on the drawing board as far as fuel efficiency goes. The are developing a V10 for the NSX replacement though.

Honda has typically been rather quiet about an upcoming hybrid, usually only releasing info about a new one coming to the US market within a few months of its release.(Currently Honda has hybrids:* Insight (1st production hybrid on US roads, introduced in 1999 for the 2000 model year)* Honda Civic Hybrid (introduced on Earth Day 2003 for the 2003 model year. it's 2nd design now for the 2006 model year.)* Accord Hybrid (which is a performance hybrid and not a fuel efficiency hybrid, I don't recall the release date but it's not more than a year old...)2006 is the last model year for the Insight, though, with only rumors about its replacement being maybe a hybrid Fit.)If the luxury model line of the Hondas, the Acura line, is to get a hybrid drivetrain option, I would think that they'd do the same stealthy announce only when it is actually coming to market, like the other Honda hybrids...As for the Toyota/Lexus thing, typically the Lexus hybrid comes out about the same time or earlier than the Toyota equivalent.(In the US, the RX450H (Harrier) was out months before the Highlander Hybrid (Kluger) cousin, and the GS450H was out the same week as the Camry Hybrid.)
