We can’t really believe that, but what we can believe is that Honda will show a hybrid version of the Accord sedan next year. The information comes straight from the month of Honda Motor President Takanobu Ito, who talked to Bloomberg, but did not reveal any details about where the car will be available.

At the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, where this statement was made, Honda revealed a whole batch of brand new engines, one of which being a 2.0-liter based hybrid powertrain.
