Thanks to Michael Tebo at American Honda for passing this on to us:

BusinessWeek included the Honda Insight in their list of "The Best Products of 2000". This is what they said:

"Green Machines: At last -- an enviro-chic car. Honda's $20,000 two-seat Insight runs on a gasoline engine/electric motor combo and gets up to 70-mpg. Honda will build 6,000 cars next year. Rivals have come up with hybrids or plans to do so soon." - Business Week, December 18, 2000.
