Honda releases hybrid minivan, utility wagon - The Mainichi Daily News Honda Motor : Honda Begins Sales of All-New Freed Series including Freed Hybrid and Freed Spike Hybrid | 4-Traders Image from back in 2008 when Freed was first released: All-New Honda Freed Seats Eight and is Shorter than a Civic (The Torque Report) PriusChat article from 2008 on Freed: http://priuschat.com/forums/prius-h...nda-freed-seats-eight-shorter-than-civic.html
We had a Mazda5 got 28mpg from March to Sept. and the wife totaled it. If the Freed was available here, I would be driving one of those.
Honda seems to be hesitant or resistant to offering all their Hybrids in the US. Are they going to "release" them here? If Honda offered their Hybrid "Jazz"-Honda Fit here, I'd probably be driving it.... PS. The "Freed"? Man, automakers are running out of names. You've got Toyota simply attaching letters or numbers to existing names...I don't think we are too far away from a "Prius c Pkg 3 with sports Trim V....... I suppose "Freed" is marginally better than Fords "Probe"...but IMO that's a horrible name.
