Default 2010 Honda Insight




To be named Insight: http://www.leftlanenews.com/honda-to-reviv...ils-emerge.html

One Honda insider told AutoObserver.com the mpg would be insane. The price can list from as little as $19,000

Honda's CEO said it would heavily take styling from the FCX Clarity. I just added a Civic Si blue and Acura wheels. The Insight or whatever its called will be a little longer and wider than the Fit.

The Japanese test of 71 mpg is scaring me off already.

The current Prius is supposed to be tested for 93 mpg, and the new one is supposed to get 103 mpg (estimated to average 50ish mpg from Toyota). And we know the EPA said their average is 46 mpg on the current Prius.

So, does that mean it will average mid 40s mpg when it comes over?.... even with design improvement? I hope it does better. I just don't trust the 50s mpg from a reporter until EPA gets their hands on it.

Sounds a little optimistic. Bigger than the Civic hybrid with the same engine, yet gets better fuel economy while costing less?

WTF, insight was a 2 door. Bad name for a new car imo.

Now, if there was a 2 door version like the new ford focus that would be BFA

I think all hybrids should be named "Stay out of Left Lane"

Well I'll be picking the next Honda high MPG uneventful driver for my primary car, whatever it ends up being. Sometimes you have to know when to fold them, thanks Kenny!

Why wait...Fit is already proven faster than a C6 Corvette with 'Ring times in the 2 minute 26 second range. All while achieving max fuel efficiency running on Vitamin Water - Dragonfruit flavor...good for a 3000 mile range on one 20oz bottle
