New Prius-sized Honda Hybrid to be revealed at Paris Auto Show

Honda is planning to launch a new hybrid model at the Paris Auto Show this fall, but the much-rumored sports hybrid shown to us in the form of the CR-Z concept is still some way off.


The new model, due to go on sale in 2009, will be a small family-sized vehicle, intended to rival the Toyota Prius.
It will be a stand-alone model (no traditional ICE counter-part), seating four or five people, and although Honda has not confirmed details of its body structure as yet, it's expected to be a five-door hatchback or compact sedan.

Isn't the Civic a "Prius Sized" hybrid?!

Maybe they mean midsize?

But what about the Fit-Sized hybrid?

So bigger than the Prius/Civic, or smaller? I love misleading press releases...

[V8Cobrakid]

isn't the prius technically a mid size? ... making it bigger than the civic.
