You know I watched motorweek this weekend and found another example of media bias against the Insight...

They were doing the comparison between the new Insight and the new Prius. On their real world side-by-side MPG tests the Insight got over 44 and the Prius got 46.X. So you get real world numbers of only 2 MPG better with the Prius??? What about the 9 MPG advantage it has in the EPA estimates?? Anyways, they concluded that the Insight was a much better value due to its cost, it handled better, it looked better, the MPG difference was minimal, the instrument layout was far superior, but they gave the win to the new Prius because it was "more refined." Seriously? I guess its easy to say something like that when you aren't actually spending your money on it. (Or Toyota is paying you off)
