Insightful? Honda Insight Concept @ 2008 Paris Motor Show

[FreaxUnleashed]

This is such a nice car! I'm getting my beginners in a highschool course and I'm trying to find a car that I really love. I like cars with this type of shape. haha.. Even the Honda CR-Z Hybrid looks wicked. Anyways, I really love this car. :D

[Vladmir917]

hell yeah, prius are for pussies!

[Fishyboiboi]

it is ugly!

[jonashunter1]

@Fishyboiboi are you talking about your mum?

[Fishyboiboi]

@jonashunter1 no i was talking about your fat mom, fag.

[MyRandomReviews]

Instead of this rainforest eating crap box, why not by a real car with a decent diesel engine.

Ohh I know why, because the people who buy these really need to shout, "hey look, I care for the environment", the stupid self centred people who buy these crap boxes not only know nothing about how it's made, but are a fat looser for everyone who knows the truth to point and laugh at.

About 3 1/2 weeks from about to invest into a insight. Right now would take the insight over a prius in a heart beat.

[electricblue1314]

thats a prius with a honda sticker on it.

[itsTiLER]

why can't they sell it with those wheels as an option???

[isha7ar]

what ?!!

isn't that a TOYOTA PRIUS ?

[Romantic19x]

No, look at the title of the video Insightful? Honda Insight Concept @ 2008 Paris Motor Show. Its a Honda Insight.

[isha7ar]

I KNOW .. but this car looks exactly like the PRIUS !

[thedoctor42209]

Around late june I had a chance to test drive the car and it was rather impressive to me.

[kbobn36]

i already have one lined up to buy. Its black with all the options including the more sporty looking front bumper. I also got to test drive the car.

Didn't you LOVE the LED display that shows your how well your driving in relation to fuel economy.

I'm SO exited to buy it... My Toyota gets about 13mpg, compared to the AWESOME 45mpg of the insight.

[Dusty696969]

How much is it costing you if you dont mind telling me. Im about to buy a new car and just seen this car and what I have seen and read it seems very nice.

[starstarstar42]

People think it's a prius rip-off design-wise. The truth though is that any efficient design will look similiar for one simple reason...THE REAR END. The most aerodynamic design possible is a fastback rear, which both the prius and the insight have to use. Ergo, they are going to look alike no matter what. Best they can do is futz around with the front end a bit.

[qoohkLive7]

The final production Messes EVERYTHING UP

it doesn't even look like this

i wish they sold this one -.-

[TheProphiting1]

honda prius?

[itsTiLER]

[TheProphiting1]

[PGX17g]

People in Europe turn their heads at Camaros because they're not used to seeing something so idiotic-looking. Even if GM would bother making a Camaro hybrid, it would still be a gigantic piece of crapola that fits only two people, since the back seat's too small for the average American gutbucket.

[cubanboy1981]

the good thing about all this is that competition on hybrids has started. The introduction of this new insight will propel the use of hybrids in the USA and this means other companies will soon follow this concept.A good car with an excellent fuel economy at a very good price. I would buy one without any doubt.

[margix]

people who will buy this shit are totally insane!

prius...insight...ugly like shit!

the ugliest "cars" of the world.

I really wonder if the hollywood producer will be so brave to put these shit in their movies!!!

USA is recognized worldwide for big cars,muscle cars,limousine,off-road veichles....now the America highways and freeways are full of cars lookin like condoms!

[cubanboy1981]

First of all the car is not ugly and second, who cares if it is not the best looking car. You people are always trying to give a bad image to good inventions.What is good for you?A ford mustang that makes 12miles per gallon? What a fool!

[margix]

no it's not ugly ...is pure shit looking!

for me is good even a hybrid or diesel mustang or camaro but it must look like a car not like a condom!

[cubanboy1981]

jajaja you funny man jajaja, a condom jaja. I understand your point but, do you think we can build something better looking that saves that amount of gas? I think the shape has a purpose you know,wind resistance and all that. I wish it was better looking too, but they have to work on that and find better shapes that please better the consumers and the mileage per gallon.

[margix]

the shape have a very little purpose,you could even build an hybrid hummer.

But USA have a reputation and a history of big and beautiful cars,they cannot build cars lookin like condoms as asian are doing .

unfortunately also the chevrolet volt looks like a condom in its definitive version,insted the concept was very nice.

camaros,mustangs and challengers looks like beautiful cars insight,prius,volt looks like condoms,that's the fact

[XenatR]

i think your face looks like a condom

[margix]

your brain IS a condom and your face is a face of a wimpy poor retarded loser

[XenatR]

if only your dad wore a condom that night which led to your oxygen thieving rat arse to come out of your mum

[margix]

you are in this world with just one purpose: you are the living proof that condoms MUST be use!

you are real garbage,the perfect example of a disturbed mind.

but also a incredibly useful piece of shit to better understand the jokes sometime nature can do

[INACT1VE]

mar-jizz is right in believing that hybrids are ugly, but wrong believing that shape is non-functional. Air resistance is a major factor in fuel economy. Anyway, hybrids are good only at saving money in your wallet and not saving the environment. With the old Prius, Toyota had to get all the parts from around the globe, using fossil fuels to move the stuff around. (I don't know if Honda or Toyota have changed this.) The real future is in the tech behind the FCX Clarity, in my opinion.

[Johnyboy775]

you have a point. but still is better then driving a 100% fosil fuel consuming car that has also its parts ships all over the world. look on the bright side :).

[INACT1VE]

Yea u also have a good point. I just heard last week too that the government has cut funding for hydrogen fuel-cell technology, i was ticked.

[ipooforfree]

ok u a retard u stupid ass air-head hick... kearn teh economy is going under gas is down right now but it will go back up in price and the arabs will control the fate of our american dreams, to live big, drive suv's, etc... especially when the USA goes to war again with another oil giant

[margix]

listen you poor ignorant mindless,it is possible to build ecologic cars lookin like camaros,challengers and mustangs and not like fuckin ugly condoms!!!!

build them hybrid,build them water powered ,build them shit powered but not build them condom looking!!!

[Juands10]

i believe the reason they look like that is because they are more aerodynamic than your average car.

[margix]

it's for aerodynamic but to save 0,001 gallon of gasoline they build such piece of crap....

rather they should save on the weight of the cars and build them nicer

[Juands10]

well not everyone would agree with you on that. obviously your average camaro loving, gas guzzling, american is not going to like it very much

[margix]

if camaro would be built with hybryd engine or diesel engine wouldn't be a "gas guzzler"

I love camaro mustang and challenger because in europe where I live they are head turners and they look great.

they are not average at all,prius-insight are ordinary horrible cars.

I really hope toyota-honda-subaru-mitsubishi etc...will fail soon.

the last news is that at toyota headquarters they have been forced to close two elevators in order to save.

not just GM in the shit

[klint3]

looks too much like a prius.....the old one was better.

[emforty2]

wheres the big3 answer to this? none

14 years behind eh

volt is still a science project if it even comes out in 2 years

keep dreaming

[jeremydantealexander]

it looks like a prius. i liked the original honda insight better.

[WideOfVision]

Does Toyota know Honda took the Prius, put on a new grill, and then renamed it the Insight?

[jeremydantealexander]

- hahahah, thats exactly what i was thinking.

[qtrinh]

we need more competition! prius is overpriced

[CursedDreams777]

it would kill owned at speed bumps

[monkai2008]

Very good for share.

I like this video. Thank for share

[koukiR32]

Wonderful looking car! Very classy, clean lines purposeful yet aerodynamic efficent. Much better looking than VW Jetta. Probably rides better too.

[serious22222]

the next prius, as shown in the official toyota teasers, will have 3 modes, an eco mode for maximum fuel efficiency, a power mode for more of a sports feeling and the 3rd is unknown. sounds cool

[flambo27]

what an ugly car!

[Madsupervilian]

thats wat everrrryboody say about new cars. but once you see it on the road.youll end up loving it.

[flambo27]

oh fuck no. not on this car

[1187624]

screw you then.

[Tentors]

nice car and once again the big three automakers in the USA are left scratching their heads , duhh how did they do that .Come on guys catch up !

[twistedlekyam]

nice!!!!

[fabiogisa]

this a Honda or Toyota Prius

[carbiduis]

cars are arriving at a maximum efficiency shape...since there is one best shape, it is in all of the maufacturers interest to use that shape. its less artsy/creative, and more based on windtunnel testing. hondas not copying toyota, just using the same optimal shape, they'd be dunmb not to.

[WayneYonke]

Say what you want about the Volt, or any other brand...

Last February, GM's VP Mark LaNeve said optimistically of the sales slow down- "It will work itself out."

MAY 2008 53k+ Civics and the Big 3 all take dives.

[WayneYonke]

I worked at a Honda/Toyota Dealership in downtown Seattle.

Prius computers always having problems. Brakes run a long time! But a lot of service problems with prius.

After driving Civic and Prius- customers always thought the Civic was a better drive and more substantial. We found that the big division was that Toyota customers liked when see the Prius you think "That's a hybrid!" Honda customers liked that the hybrid looked like a regular Civic.

[Rata4You]

I like the business end of that car - the 8th generation styled nose. Super cool & the headlights. This is the shit, man. If American companies can stop with the retro-crap & be revolutionary I'd prefer to buy local but they are seriously stuck. Somebody told me they can't because the factories & robots are made in such a way they can't advance forward without spending hundreds of millions of money they don't have.

[brionhickey]

nice

[serious22222]

if toyota cuts the price of the next gen 2010 prius as expected, its likely the new prius will be a much worthier competitor than this insight, as it is also expected to hit the dealerships in april 2009 as well. it will be larger, much faster and sportier and more economical than the current prius and this new insight.

[TheJabHattEnt]

I'm tired of people saying that Honda is copying the Prius shape. The only thing they are copying from Toyota, is the second pair of doors. Don't forget about the first generation Insight and the Honda CR-X that first had this shape, that Toyota added rear doors to.

[h2fcell]

NPNS - No Plug, No Sale!

[HackedGrizzly]

Honda sucks

[MusicMan0007]

fuck you ignorant dumbass. Why does Honda suck because they aren't as stupid as GM? or as interested in money as Toyota>?

[whome445]

honda is saying about 60 highway-likely more around 44.

[quetano]

I would like to see a revised CrX on the new civic chasis or something with old peoples accrod/inspire engine or at least a revised fit

I would like to see the lights in action

[fobdaddie]

This shape must be really aerodynamic and efficient... the three major hybrids have more or less that shape. The prius, the upcoming Chevy Volt, and now this, the Honda Insight.

[grybold]

Stunning!

[bg1379]

MPG ests?

[LTF85199]

also adding to your quest, is it lithium ion battery with plug in capability?

[razor90210]

it looks like the CRZ, a comback of the crx. that was suppost to go into production. didnt hear anything about that lately

[Nemesis19852]

damn what prius

[cman5445]

y are they making th prius 2.0 again

[freakout247]

Prius 2.0

[svingt]

omg.. this and the volt are like identical twins, did gm and honda work together on this one or did gm just steal honda's design

[kubomon17]

this the the death of the prius

[JGA636]

it looks like a pimp out Prius

[MSIL2]

In Honda standards, its a great looking car! Probably one of few good looking cars honda has now.

[2004JETTA]

ive heard its gonna be in the 70s

[Ji99i3]

hey u like my prui - urghh honda insight?

[anthonyT01]

It looks fantastic

[allisinthepass]

i would take one of thse over a prius any time

[jpbalkenende]

What are the MPGs?

[johnjohn0701]

its like 60 or something u can google it on line

[onoitsaWRX]

i hope it beats the crap out of the Prius. only time will tell...

[OneOfaKind949]

Looks actually better then a Prius. From what I hear it also performs better too, and is cheaper to buy... curious to see what the stats are on it...

[SkedBoard]

NICE!!

Honda shouldn't have a problem selling these!

[AreuNoob]

not bad not bad
