Honda 's next-generation hybrid system is branded everywhere but North America for some reason as e:HEV.

Toyota is unsurprisingly the dominant brand, which, from that 9.8 percent share, Toyota accounts for half of the total hybrid vehicles sold.

Honda doesn't have body-on-frame SUVs and pickups, but in the other segments like crossovers and sedans, Honda has solid, well-rounded offerings.

Honda is developing a new vehicle architecture for midsize vehicles.

The new e:HEV system will have more compact yet more powerful and efficient electric motors that will work in tandem with the aforementioned new 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter four -cylinder engines.

Honda hopes that the simulated gear shifts provided by the S+ Shift will make you forget about the Prelude .
