The Insight and the Prius almost look like one was photochopped off another.
Isn't the Volt supposed to be stupid expensive? |

In order of cost, most to least.... Volt (starting $30-40k), Prius (starting around $25k), Insight (starting under $20k)

Did anyone else here about Toyota splitting the Prius off of its line and Prius becoming its own company?? Ahh the expansion possibilities....lol I think I read it in either last months MT or the month before...

I like the the look, but the insight is a copycat, and the Volt seems useless, unless the buyers only drive 50miles in an average day.

There's Also talk that what you are calling the 2010 Prius , will
also run at a higher speed before petrol engine kicks in (75kmh from memory) instead of the old at 50kmh. Making it way more fuel effect.

never liked the prius... but this doesnt look as bad as the this years model. I still wouldnt buy it.
And like someone said, the prius and the insight almost look exactly alike. I think one of them is photoshopped.

Bailout may have already mentioned it.....it's that optimum shape you want a car to be for best aero. I'm sure all the manufacturers have come to this shape already (mathematically and trial and error), they just never ran with it, because it's not aesthetically pleasing as the more conventional shapes.
