I"ve been a fan of the ultra-sleek look of the Honda FCX Clarity since I first got to gaze upon one last year in Los Angeles. So when I heard that Honda would be basing its new hybrid design on the Clarity I was thrilled. And here we have it, the Prius killer, a 5-door, 5-passenger, dedicated hybrid model for only $18,500. If I wasn"t so dead-set on a Volt, this would be my next car. Just looking, it"s obvious that this won"t hit the 70 mpg of the original (two seater) Insight, and it"s possible that the cheaper hybrid system (which is how they got to $18.5) might lower the fuel economy even more. But in any case, the Insight will be small, versatile and extremely fuel efficient. I"m looking forward to seeing whether this beauty can beat out the Prius for gas mileage. I expect it will, but we"ll have to wait for the EPA to do its thing. Via Ecomodder |
