he goal of the 2010 Honda Insight is to make the best use of the most cost-effective hybrid technology. That means a 40-mpg+ compact car for less than $20,000—a figure designed to undercut the least expensive Toyota Prius by about $2,000. And the 2010 Honda Insight has already racked up independent real-world highway fuel economy tests above 60 miles to the gallon. It goes on sale April 22—Earth Day, 2009.The differences between the 2010 Honda Insight and the 2010 Toyota Prius, can be easily summarized: The Insight is thousands of dollars cheaper, gets comparable fuel economy, has a crisper look and provides a more agile and enjoyable ride. But the Insight is noticeably smaller, especially for passengers in the backseat. You need to sit in both vehicles before deciding if the Insight is the right size for your passengers, not just your pocketbook.Inside the Insight, you can feel where the cash has been saved. The interior design is attractive enough to look at, but we struggled to find a surface that was pleasant to touch. The firmly upholstered, cloth-covered seats are good to sit in but hard to adjust, and the dashboard and door trims have an unyielding, budget plastic finish.
