Redition by "Uncle Evan" on carscoop.com. Too bad the bumper from the spyshots are much more conservative.


"As sales pick up and Honda gets better at making hybrids, the company expects to reduce costs sharply. R&D boss Kato says he can bring the price differential between a hybrid and an equivalent gasoline-only car below $2,000. While not as powerful as Toyota's hybrid technology, the Honda system is lighter and less complex, so its new models may offer better gas mileage. Honda hasn't disclosed pricing, but the compact hybrid due next year could retail for around $18,000-$3,000 less than a Prius, reckons Tatsuo Yoshida, an analyst at UBS in Tokyo."


PRICED AT $18,500....gooooodbyyye Prius.

Hybrid System cost half as much as current Civic Hybrid system

 

I heard about this four-door Insight. While it may not look as kewl as the first one this one looks practical in terms of size and price.

 

That's one heck of a smile on the bumper.

 

You gotta respect Honda. Other car companies are in trouble, and they're pricing 50mpg cars at 18k. Wow.

 

Yeah but the fit can outhandle it

 

Rendition isn't the word you are thinking of...
