Well Toyota IQ copied Mercedes' Smart Car so what's the big deal right?. Lexus copied the Maybach rear seating in their current LS long wheel base.

Lexus (as well as Maybach) copied First-Class Jet seats.

Pointless as it gets worse fuel economy than the Civic Hybrid. They gained nothing from the hybrid styling.

Yes, this Insight has the same hybrid powertrain as the Civic Hybrid, somehow manages to get worse fuel economy, but looks like a Hybrid. It will definitely sell better than the Civic Hybrid that never had good sales.

the point of this is that it has a low msrp and large production numbers so it will be a bread and butter car. they are going to beat the prius by flooding the market and having a much lower MSRP.

What do you think are the chance that this vehicle steals a large portion of Honda's own Civic sales - in the US, esp.?

Btw, I understand that a better interior doesn't always justify price margins, but in this case... the interior of the Insight is gonna give some people a big headache during their hybrid shopping spree - not to mention the Prius' reputation.

so this 20 thousand dollar prius imitation has less power than a prius, less of a name than the prius, and less fuel efficient than a prius.

That goes the same for the 2010 Toyota Prius, let's wait and see how both will perform in the real world...especially this new Honda Insight.

So UAW1 how much does the Volt cost again? Was it twice the amount? Yea that sounds about right. O and another thing I keep hearing that the car will come out in 2010? That is a long time for Honda to spread the gap.

no offense but i'm sick of the comments of oh this copied this copied that, it serves no point in this case cuz if ppl look at the ORIGINAL insight and the FCX clarity, they can see where this Insight took design cues from. If I didn't know better I would have to say that the older insight was produced/designed b4 the current prius and so does that mean the prius copied the insights backend?

I would also say Acura design people snuck into the room and added a big metal beak to the front of this. Great. Now Honda adds fugly grilles to all their cars. They already ruined the Pilot by trying to make it look like the boxy Pathfinder, and gave it dual exhausts with tips that are more fitting on a Mini Cooper. They went from nicely styled projectors to big bug eyes.

But back to the Prius..er I mean Insight. It shows that in order for a hybrid to really be efficient it needs to have this style of shape for aerodynamics. Are they discontinuing the Civic Hybrid now too?

Still think this and the Prius are ugly, and the next time I see one in the fast lane not passing traffic, I'm driving through it. You bought a Hybrid to be economical, get in the right lane and do 50.
