Just remember. Honda has a exceptional R&D division.
THey might have something up their sleeves.
Or they just prefer not to put their eggs in an intermediate bucket like Plug-ins and prefer to go for the ultimate goal.

Honda's already far ahead of everyone else in terms of efficiency. I don't think they'll give up their lead without a fight.
