With a fully loaded 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid 2.0L Touring coming in at ~$35K and having tons of additional features like parking sensors, wireless phone charging, head-up display, blindspot monitor, 47 MPG, and a much better display with a volume button, it will become harder for dealers to sell Clarity Touring at or around MSRP. I understand that there is a Tax rebate associated with the Clarity but that is after the fact and will not lower the monthly payments. Also, 2019 Insight (55 MPG) is coming in early Summer. The Honda Hybrid/PHEV/EV Sedan lineup is getting more and more complicated and confusing.

after rebates- Clarity is 10K less on top of 90EV driving- no contest as far as I am concerned

For anyone in Florida who is interested, holler Honda in Orlando is offering an additional $4000 incentive on top of their already reduced price for the Honda clarity - this deal just started on Saturday, March 30th and has not yet been updated on their website, but its readily displayed when you get to the lot. They have about 6 left in stock. I just picked up a base model for $25,999 plus ttl. I was going to go for the touring but it’s a $4000 difference in pricing for leather, power seats, and nav. The latter two I would rarely use. I also don’t trust the suede - 1) it is somewhat odd and polarizing and I think will effect resale 2) It makes the car appear to have too many textures, you have wood grain, black soft touch plastic, beige leather, and then also the suede - it’s a little too much. 3) who knows how it will stand up to the test of time - with all the room in the front seat Someone might cross thei legs for a long car ride and dirt might wipe off from their shoe onto the dash or the side door panel, or if anyone has anything on his/her hands and they touch the beige suede, it will show. That’s going to be very hard to get off. Also I didn’t realize that the cloth seats are not all cloth, only the inlays are, the rest is still a leatherette. I have now been driving the base model for two days and am not at all regretful that I didn’t get the touring. Plus, with the 7500 federal tax credit, this car’s price comes down to sub $20,000 which is ridiculously good for the quality car you are getting. If you do decide to go with this deal - email Peter Tran (that’s who I worked with, nice guy, very straightforward, no nonsense, awesome communicator and really made sure to answer all my questions promptly - really liked him) at [email protected].

Yes, I probably would have been more open to the black suede, but I'm in Florida and don't need to get burned by the leather seats. Plus I really love how the beige brightens up to interior. I also got the car in moonlit forest pearl - I have already received 3 compliments on the color in two days. No regrets.

Range vs size vs features vs plug-in capability--it's not really that confusing. Accord Hybrid is the most expensive, has the most interior room and has the most features. Insight has Honda's best hybrid gas mileage, but is smaller than the Accord (it's a non-hatchback Civic with a few different body parts). The Clarity has slightly less interior room than the Accord, but if you don't drive more than 50 miles daily you can go many months without using any gas at all--and there are rebates and tax credits ($7500 fed) that make it much less expensive than the Accord Hybrid. When using gas, the Clarity's 42 mpg is nothing to sneeze at. Our much smaller, much lighter 2nd gen Insight struggles to achieve 36 mpg.
 
Picked up a 2019 Touring In Socal this weekend. 32,800 OTD. Cant complain especially the 7,500 Tax Credit, 1,500 CVRP and 1000 Edison!

Hah, I was getting quoted on the same car too (Costco price which was a few hundred higher), but I didn't really want Black (ended up with Modern Steel elsewhere). Glad he was able to sell it :)

We also ended up with Modern Steel (base model), but got it at Stockton Honda. They managed to get one in from Tracy. $28,750 out the door.
 
I am really surprised that even with such a big diacount, not many were interested in it. I told my coworker last week, he was looking for a new car for his son, and the son didn't like it because it is not a hatchback... Someone like me could never understand this kind of thought, ever.
I am the kind of person who always tells the dealer I want the cheapest color, I don't mind the style either, unless it really makes me uncomfortable.
 
According to costco site, extended for only two more days.

It is possible that they are getting rid of the inventory, I think.

It is unlikely this early in the model year. Maybe they have some carb credit goal that they need to meet by some deadline.
 
What I basically want to do is sell/trade my 2018 in that I bought in December and take advantage of $6000 offer to get another tax credit.
Hope I can make it happen this weekend but all dealerships in my area are sold out (Portland).

Most people put style near the top of the importance list when buying, not efficiency. Analyze all the ads, almost none about efficiency. They then complain when it cost a fist full of money to full the tank.
 
Another update on the Costco site, 6K discount until the end of the month. In the Sacramento area, the already limited inventory is at an all time low based on a few web searches.
