[WebTravel08]

It's a Honda Pruis (misspelled purposely, because it's different from the Toyota) lol

[usery1z]

cant wait to buy this car

[hondaboii89]

beautiful!

Looks just like a Prius. Why?

[kidcaper007]

Only the back looks like the Prius, the front and interior are completely different. The price of the Insight will be lower than the Prius, therefore gives some competition.

[tgseason12]

Yeah. But what makes the Prius stand out is ONLY the back! It's the back I'm talking about. I wonder if it could have to do with aerodynamics or so.

[xxWEEDMAxx]

no, it has nothing to do with the aerodynamics. The insight and prius, both have the batteries in the rear, under the trunk. But the cars still need familiy-tunks, so they both got a ass-lift :D

[tgseason12]

Oh, I see. Well, it is really ugly anyway =)

Because so far Toyota has sold a million Prius and people know the design. Honda is following the same formula but keeping the cost a little lower in order to be competitive. I might buy one myself

[INDIANAJONESCC]

Because.... You know.... to get the most fuel efficiency they have to converge to a common design such as "fast back" rear and rounded corners....
