Honda is working on hybrid technology
Tu kiya Toyota jhak maar raha hai woh bhe tu hybrid kay peechay para hua hai 
Toyota Copy marta hey... :P:P
Toyota introduce the World's first hybrid car in 1997 (Prius Hybrid which was available for sale)
Toyota introduce the World's first eight speed transmission
Toyota introduce the World's first V8 Hybrid
Toyota introduce the World's first full size luxuy hybrid
Toyota introduce the World's first hybrid SUV
Toyota Prius (Many time in the best list of International Engine of the Year award for technology)
Now Toyota has introduced its new technology called 'Valvematic'

I can also list alot of things that Honda pioneered in.. But I will first prove your above list wrong:
[highlight]
Honda launched in late 1999 the first commercial
hybrid electric car
sold in the US market , the
Honda Insight
, just one month before the introduction of the
Toyota Prius
. (How can you say Prius was the first Hybrid car).

We can list alot of technologies Honda or Toyota has pioneered in, but the main question is: What n what are they providing us in the Pakistani Market.. Our main discussion is Xli vs City.. coming to technology in both of these cars: City provides more technological features than xli.. One of the feature is DBW - Drive-by-wire (in simple words: No Throttle Cable):

A DBW (Drive By Wire) system provides high-precision control over the throttle valve while the valve timing is being changed over, ensuring smooth driving performance that leaves the driver unaware of any torque fluctuations.
Under low-load conditions on conventional engine, the throttle valve is normally partly closed to control the intake volume of the fuel-air mixture. During this time, pumping losses are incurred due to intake resistance, and this is one factor that leads to reduced engine efficiency. With the i-VTEC engine, however, intake valve closure timing is delayed to control the intake volume of the air-fuel mixture, allowing the throttle valve to remain wide open even under low-load conditions for a major reduction in pumping losses of up to 16%. Combined with comprehensive friction-reducing measures, this results in a significant increase in fuel efficiency for the engine itself.
When cruising, the ECU keeps the throttle wide open in order to decrease pumping losses. This technology is one of the reasons why the engine gets such high MPG.

ATLEAST HONDA CITY IS EQUIPED WITH
Revolutionary
TECHNOLOGY...

In all of your points you mentioned, mention any of the thing you get in xli? lolzzzz... I wonder why you guys keep on looking at the outside market.. wohi dekho jo hey... xli without ABS... Ghoom ne wala handle...lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
