Re: 05 Jeep grand
Wait till you have to have work done on the batteries, transmission,
charging system, they are guaranteed for 8 years 100k but when they go
kaput, you are looking at $10K total what the hell are they thinking.

Re: 05 Jeep grand
Your reference post indicates a lack of knowledge of the Accord
Hybrid. What is it you are driving that a 255 HP Accord can't dream
of keeping up with? An F-16? An Accord Hybrid is nothing like a
Prius-type vehicle. Completely different animal.
I can only go by what I read in the Honda literature as to how the
hybrid gets better mileage than the standard 240 HP V6 Accord. It
looks like two factors work to increase fuel efficiency.
1. When cruising, Variable Cylinder Management deactivates 3 cylinders
until needed. 2. The engine is turned off when stopped.
Honda rates the Hybrid for a range of 649 miles. That's about 100
miles more than I can do with our 7th generation Accord V-6 on the
highway.
BTW, what you refer to as an "econobox" is over a foot longer, is
wider, has a longer wheelbase and more horsepower than our Grand
Cherokee V-8. Not exactly a Yugo.

Sounds like you don't know a damn thing about your suggestion, the
Honda Accord hybrid. You didn't even mention batteries, Regenerative
braking, or the 12-kilowatt electric motor, all of which will only get
you 29 miles to the gallon:

Re: 05 Jeep grand
I'm wondering who it is that doesn't know anything about the Accord.
The batteries, regenerative braking and electric motor, as far as I
can tell, don't have a damn thing to do with increased mileage other
than letting the A/C run on batteries when stopped. The electric
system merely facilitates letting the V-6 achieve better mileage, and
gives added horsepower when you put your foot in it. I think the 29
mpg is a bunch of crap. Let's wait until someone without ants in
their pants does a realistic test on the hybrid. I have used Honda
products since the 60's. Lawn mowers, power plants, motorcycles and
automobiles. Honda knows how to build a good product. It would be
extremely unlikely that they would put something out to market that
isn't going to work correctly or be of poor quality. Unlike some
years of the JGC.

The batteries, regenerative braking and electric motor, as far as I
can tell, don't have a damn thing to do with increased mileage other
than letting the A/C run on batteries when stopped. The electric
system merely facilitates letting the V-6 achieve better mileage, and
gives added horsepower when you put your foot in it. I think the 29
mpg is a bunch of crap. Let's wait until someone without ants in
their pants does a realistic test on the hybrid. I have used Honda
products since the 60's. Lawn mowers, power plants, motorcycles and
automobiles. Honda knows how to build a good product. It would be
extremely unlikely that they would put something out to market that
isn't going to work correctly or be of poor quality. Unlike some
years of the JGC.
