isn't that the same hideous blue on the '08 CR?
Roughly the same color as your bike

don't the batteries in these current gen cars ive out in about 8-years with a replacement or overhaul cost much higher than the value of the car?

or did they fix that problem?

I hope they can make a multiple choice CR-Z

a) gas-electric
b) turbo diesel
c) small but high-revving all gas
d) hydrogen cell, cow turds, sunflower oil, w/e

I think Merc is working on a concept like that

"In California and the four other states that follow its strict emissions regimens, hybrid batteries are warranted for 10 years or 150,000 miles, which is presumed to be the life of the vehicle. The other 45 states have an 8-year, 100,000-mile warranty."

Prius taxis seem to be getting somewhere in the range of 200,000-300,000 miles before the batteries need to be replaced.

Some videos from Motor Trend:

First Look

First Drive

Part of the second video explores the fun factor aspect of the Insight as they take it on a twisty road and find out how it performs.
Sweet thanks for posting!!!

I like that its almost like a video game when trying to be as green as possible, collecting leaves and keeping the area around the speedo green!
