the insight was honda's flagship hybrid...looked different than any car on the road outside of the dearly departed crx (which is basically its orgin...CRX HF)...honda had it first in america, toyota had the first one in japan

time and time again honda stresses its hybrid system is a "no compromise"...it acts like a normal car in order to be an easier transition for its buyer from a gas only vehicle...toyota's takes more to get used to for most drivers
