Feeling very Germanic, there's just an aluminum panel on the bottom half of the centre control stack breaks up a cabin that I find too sombre. I know all black is what the people want and sales prove it. Take Mercedes-Benz and Audi. But I would have liked some veneer or two-tone hues. The centre console with a sliding top is a nice touch. Instrument placing and legibility has been a Honda forte since the first Honda Civic way back in 1973. The heating/air conditioning system is one of the easiest to work in the auto industry. Similarly, the steering wheel mounted controls for audio and cruise are illuminated at night. Coupled with Braille-like raised bumps, these controls are simple to use and see at a glance or just by touch. With its power saving electric steering and longer wheelbase, the Accord Hybrid is very at home on the highways and byways. And with that extra shot of power from the IMA system, merging and passing is a whole lot quicker. All V6 Accords are equipped with Honda's version of pitch and yaw control called Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA). Coupled with integrated traction control, the VSA enhances grip in the corners while the traction control makes sure all available torque gets to the road surface during acceleration. The shape of the Accord, like all Hondas, is evolving into a wind cheating lozenge design that is best seen in the new Civic. These aero bodies can create a lot of wind noise around the mirrors and upper windowsills, but this has been ironed out on the Accord Hybrid. While there are many views, pro and con, on hybrids, the fact remains that we all must be cognizant about how the climate is changing. Honda is not only taking a leadership role, but vehicles like the Accord Hybrid and future products like the exciting fuel cell cars Honda is working on, show that there is a future for the automobile.
