Honda insight is comes in hybrid format, it was good. The goal of the 2010 Honda Insight is to make the best use of the most cost-effective hybrid technology.

That really does look like a Prius with a Honda grill. I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't keep the rear roofline hip from the Clarity (which I think looks pretty).
Overall I was hoping for a bit more visual distinction.
