Alanis King The 2021 Honda Accord Hybrid marks 16 years since the debut of the original hybrid Accord. It gets between 43 and 48 mpg combined depending on trim, and it doesn't need to be plugged in. The hybrid starts at $26,570. My innocuous $37,435 loaner taught me blending in isn't so bad. It's an age-old question: Would you rather fly or be invisible? You could choose invisibility, letting you be wherever you want whenever you want without the awkward task of explaining why you belong. You'd be unperceived. Unassuming. You'd simply exist and observe things you wouldn't have otherwise. Or you could fly! You could soar wherever you wanted, wind in your face and airline fares in your rearview forever. You could see the world from a perspective few, if any, ever do. Constant catharsis.
