Honda Insight ES-T: hybrid thrills

First Opinion

The all-new Insight has a lot going for it. This is a realistic, cut-price alternative to the Prius, and is exactly what the

hybrid market has been looking for. It's a shame the model doesn't look particularly futuristic, but with its

fun, interactive personality, the Honda can only be good for future mainstream hybrid acceptance.
