Default New Honda Insight

supposedly starting at $18.5K and 60mpg. Looks better then the Prius, costs less, and goes further. Let's see what the next Prius has up it's sleeves.

it is interesting how they took their original 2 seater and turned it into a 5 seater to compete with Toyota

i hope it does well and i'm still looking forward to the release of the CR-Z.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

The coupe you're talking about is the Honda CRZ concept from maybe a year ago, which to my knowledge was not drivable and to my knowledge is not slated for production in the near future. The red car in the middle is the FCX Clarity prototype, a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle which Honda leased to about 500 people, but will never sell because the cars cost something like a half-million dollars a piece to build. The car in the foreground is the new Insight concept, the near-to-production concept which Honda just released."
