Some under-informed car-testing reports previously failed to achieve optimal hybrid acceleration test results due to a partially-depleted battery state-of-charge. Maybe this is why CR's fuel economy and acceleration data for the Insight was very sub-what-we-know-to-be-easily-achieved, as well?

The CR team of vacuum cleaner and electric toothbrush testers appear unqualified to properly evaluate or make correctly-reasoned judgments concerning IMA hybrid cars requiring mindful driving to optimize performance. CR's smug 'accuracy' is rarely held up to scrutiny by a susceptible (gullible) public, unfortunately. The ONLY point of CR's journalism... now clearly resting on its laurels... is self-serving MAGAZINE SALES (a la Jeremy Clarkson), rather than any proper evaluation that might require superior education, competence, or research. For CR and more so-called journalists all the time, the truth is increasingly irrelevant, extraneous, and inconvenient.

Any half-witted-or-better reviewer with integrity would certainly recognize and applaud Honda for its "yes, you CAN have it all" spirit of balancing performance, style, and features WITH economy in a tech-friendly value package. This is what the general public demanded, and this is what Honda brilliantly delivered.
