| | EV WORLD -- Honda's New Hybrid-Electric Car (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | Slated to go on sale at Honda dealerships in all fifty states starting in the Fall of 1999, the vehicle, code-named "VV" will hit the streets a full year ahead of its chief rival, the Prius built by Toyota. |
 | | Whereas the Prius is a 4-5 passenger, 4 door sedan, the Honda VV is a two passenger coupe that will weigh in at under 2000 pounds, according to Andrew Boyd, a Honda spokesman. |
 | | Production of the VV will be at Honda's Suzuka plant, Takenezawa factory, where the company also assembles the EV Plus electric car and NSX sportscar. |
