Honda has been working hard to compete with Toyota in putting out affordable hybrid vehicles, and the brand new Insight hybrid that they unveiled at the LA auto show this year is a big step towards competing with the Prius. The Insight is named after Honda's first attempt at selling a hybrid, which was the first gas and electric car available in the US when it came out. But the new Honda Insight is sleek, aerodynamic, and thoroughly modern. The new Insight is aimed at mass audiences, unlike the original tear dropped shaped two seater. Insight 2.0 is a comfortably sized five door with folding rear seats. Honda claims that the new Insight will have a price tag of just 19,000 dollars, which is a few thousand dollars cheaper than a new Prius or Honda Civic Hybrid, and it will match or even exceed the fuel economy of both of those existing hybrid models. The new Insight is cheaper, sleeker looking, and more fuel efficient than the most popular hybrids on the road... no wonder Honda is expecting sales of the Insight to be through the roof when it arrives in showrooms in April 2009.

anyone remember the 1992 honda civic VX it was rated at 55mpg and had good performance with its vtec engine. I bought one for 11000 dollars new. why not just bring back the VX at 14000 and see how many hybrids people will buy when they have a sensible choice like the vx
I dont absolutely like it, but i dont hate it either. The whole split gauge or at least digital display all the way in the back is a GOOD idea, very ergonomical and easy to see while driving. Just wish they didnt let an 8 year old Japanese boy with a pencil design it, could be much better made. Good idea, badly executed.
She also says it's comfortably sized 4 door... (5 door and you cant know if it's comfy if no one outside Honda has sat in it)
Then she says it will be more efficient than the Prius... We know nothing about the MPG estimates except some leaked data from Belgium which put it slightly higher MPG than the Civic Hybrid but NOT above the Prius and unverified info from Japan that put it at about 15% less efficient than the Prius. (still very high MPG tho)

weak car!
then get this catherine cronenberg to suck the dildo.
airbags etc.
basically they were so light it got good mileage
you can make an 80mpg civic made out of Kevlar Carbon Fiber panels but expect to pay around $60,000 for it
