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....

B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!!

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

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

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

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

[usery1z]

cant wait to buy this car

[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.

beautiful!

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.
