Who Will Win This War In The End? Toyota Prius Or Honda Insight?

Below Comment was intended for you...

1st off - the question was very clear: which one will win at the end? (But I understand where you're coming from since there was no German car mentioned.

2nd - Efficiency doesn't mean you will not have to replace any parts, it simply means that the cars are EFFICIENT.

In case you weren't aware, there are people that do care about the environment and don't necessarily need an M3 (open your mind a little)

My choice: The Prius.

I would never buy either, but I just don't think the Insight is as complete of a package as the Prius.

I agree with you on all but you last statement. I do not believe that the Insight is the better package and the reasoning being is that the Prius comes far better equipped and in some cases offers things that the Insight just doesn't. I do appreciate the fact that you gave BimmerMike pretty good explanations of your thoughts. I also am not interested in either of these cars but if I had to choose I actually get the Honda Civic Hybrid just because it gets the same if not better than the Insight and its better looking than both even though I think Civics are pretty ugly overall they look better than these called purpose built cars. Its also good to see someone post meaning things without cutting and pasting Google or insulting the other person.

WHO CARES IS THE ?

Prius will sell more. It has the name recognition, offers the owner status (in its own way), offers more features, and has the mileage to back it all up.

Bimmermike46 The Prius is one of the worlds best made cars even with the very minor quality issues beside that wasn't the question. You may not want to be seen in a Prius but, millions are making Toyota very rich buying and driving them not to mention the element of prestige that goes with owning one of these things. Answer to the question: The Prius will win hands down and not only because it's a Toyota.

keep smokin' that sh*t; you NEED better vision and perception.

"on the drawing board" does NOTHING for anyone the most efficient, state-of-the-art vehicle TODAY.

wanting or needing...TODAY

I think the insight will win... by producing fewer eyesores. And thus devaluing their sporty image the least.

Who F*&%ing Cares!

You have to give up so much for these two putt putt vehicles. The new Lexus HS250h that is coming this fall will have more power, more room, more evrything that you want in a Hybrid that you dont get with the Honda and the Toyota. Lexus is even giving you a good fuel rating (tbd) with the use of regular gasoline, not premium. Clearly lexus is putting luxury in this HS250h, which puts it way over the top on the others. Lexus wins....hands down.

Well, 001 . Just like the headline for the Corvette Grand Sport article. Dose anyone care ?. You can use that headline for this story too .

you are SO wrong!

how many gran sports will sell? IF they're lucky, and gm hasn't gone down the tubes, maybe a few hundred.

both the Prius AND the Insight will sell in the tens of thousands. people DO care AND BUY these cars.

just because we're in a recession/depression does NOT mean ALL car sales drop to zero until there is a recovery. even a 30-40% drop still represents tens of thousands of sales. the tougher sales environment means shoppers will be more demanding.

and they will likely REMAIN demanding for as long as its more a buyers' than a sellers' market.

even when there is a recovery, it will still take time for sales to ramp up, ESPECIALLY for brand new models. this is true even in normal times, unless a new model strikes a chord and makes a sales 'home run.' and even this is still dependent on dealers having enuff models in stock.

i bought the then brand new ford focus in late 1999. it was almost a whole YEAR before i began to see a FEW others on the street. and the first few fellow 'owners' i talked to were just driving rentals! and it's not like i'm in a small hick town; pop. is about 70,000.

By the comments made by BimmerMike, It appears that he hates everyone who is not a right wing goose stepping BMW driver. His foul mouth and bad attitude is not accomplishing anything except as an object oflaughter/pity (your choice). To Mike: Open your mind and close your foul mouth, CaCa breath and stop being such a wuz.

First time Honda buyers "test drive"both Toyota and Honda before they come to a final decsision.They end up buyind Honda because of handling,driveability and room.Honda will win.

WRONG, people who drive Hondas are stupid, just not as stupid as people who drive Toyotas. BUT in the end you're all a-holes.

They both suck. smart people will wait for the Volt.
