Here is better vehicle at a lower price. The Insight really has class and style. A lot of engineering and thought has gone into both the Insight and Prius cars. If anyone wants to knock Honda or Toyota, where are the US car makers and their competitive models in this price range?

The Honda, without a second thought. I drive the Insight now and am getting 72mpg. I’ve had it since Oct. 2000 and have 240,000 miles on it with no end in sight. I’ll drive this thing till it falls apart. It has plenty of pickup and I’ve even had it over 100mph on the freeway with plenty of pedal left to go. All I use it for is work which I travel around the Chicago subs as a network engineer, so it’s perfect for that. I get reimbursed for my mileage from the company I work for, so they paid all my bills on this car and since it’s now paid off, I’m making money on it. I can go 750 miles on a single tank which lasts me 7-8 days. So, who’s laughing all the way to the bank?

how about id rather be shot in the head who needs a hybrid normal vehicles account for less than 2 percent of the pollution in the world so who gives a fuck…besides there both foreign pieces of shit anyways.

P.S. since they are basically the same shape, and have both been around long enough to refine their systems to be very reliable, I guess give me which ever one edges out the other in fuel economy, even if it is a slight advantage. If I have to drive one of these ugly things, I may as well get the full benefit.

The reason these look alike is because that shape is very good for reducing drag. If your car just stops flat in the rear (like a sedan for example) the air coming off the flat trunk swirls around and causes drag from the rear of the car. These on the other hand slope to the rear giving the air a smoother departure and therefore less disturbance and less drag. The front is so pointy for the same reason, so it can cut through the air to an extent instead of “push” the air. They could shape them more like a 350Z or RX-8 and probably get a similiar effect, but why would they want to make ‘em look that good. lol.

Is it just me or do they look the same?

And think twice about Doggin on someone who chooses to help the environment over speed & style..

You should support this because Not may of you are doing anything but add to the problem because of your customizing and need to drive Huge suv with spinning rims, all you sports car fanatics with your removed cats and smog stuff….

These people dont have the same NEED’s that me or you do with there transportation, they look at our car and think ” wow thats ugly”

so show respect to the movement for the Earth and our future….
