I thought someone had left a reindeer nose on a regular accord. The badge on the front is absolutely massive. It's hideous, actually. Anyone else notice this? (Only hybrid accords have this)

Edit:is there a video embedded in this? It appears there is, but my school blocked all videos so I can't verify...

Gotta make the hybrid version stand out so those fart sniffing hybrid drivers can show the world they're better than everyone else.

That's the reason I figured, but still. It's nasty.

Nope no video here.

Your point is still valid without one.

Ok, I didn't put one in so I was a bit confused. Good to know it's all good!

It is optional as far as I can tell.

For the same reason the Tahoe Hybrid says H-Y-B-R-I-D across the side. So the rest of the world knows that you're saving the planet.

That is the Plug-in Hybrid Accord. It has a different front end for some reason. The regular Hybrid Accord looks like a standard Accord.

As msatlas said, I guess it's to make it look different enough to justify the higher price tag. I just wish they made it look better when they changed it up rather than worse.
