One year ago, Honda CEO Takeo Fukui announced:
| Quote: | | Honda will introduce a FlexFuel car that accepts ethanol in any blend up to 100% before the end of 2006. |

Now, a Bloomberg article carried in the LA Times relates that, although Toyota has promised future flex-fuel models, Honda has stated that it's not interested in ethanol.
A Honda rep states:
| Quote: |
We're not against it... It is less efficient from a fuel-economy standpoint.
|
( http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-honda26aug26,0,7980377.story )
The article reports that Honda plans to focus on hydrogen, natural gas, and on a diesel car that is "clean enough to be sold in all 50 U.S. states". This sounds as though Honda may have shifted its attention away from ethanols, and towards diesel.
