To see more details about this vehicle. Does anyone have any inside information or additional pictures?

The problem is that people who are in a position to have "inside info" are generally people who would be fired if they revealed that inside info. Spy shots are a different matter entirely, but the vehicle would pretty much have to be in production for that to happen.

#18 of 209: Waiting list? by scottl; Jan 09, 2009 (5:44 am)

Has anyone actually put their name on a waiting list for a new Insight? I'm going to call a few Denver dealers today to see if any of them will agree to sell me a car at MSRP when it arrives. Knowing the Denver market, I suspect I'll be laughed at.

Does anyone in any part of the country have such a guarantee? I'm willing to travel if it means saving thousands.

Any suggestion on the best Denver area Honda dealer?

Rather than calling the dealer I would suggest getting quotes from several dealers via the internet.

With the economy down, I don't think MSRP plus type pricing will stick around long on the Insight; plus, it's designed to be a volume car.

If your local dealers aren't willing to sell at MSRP, or even below MSRP, I'd look into traveling a bit to get a better deal.

#21 of 209: new insight smoking mileage test by larsb; Jan 12, 2009 (7:22 am)

Honda Insight Tops 60 MPG in Test Drive

High 50s or 60+ = Awesome !!!

Point Missed = Oops Gary Did It Again

Lowest cost high-mileage hybrid available, at $22.5K LOADED, but only $18K very well-equipped.

And as far as mileage: Well, it hit 51.5 in the Edmunds Test Drive, so my guess is that it will be in the "real-world" about neck and neck with the Prius and the HCH.

And at about $5K cheaper than the Prius when comparably equipped at the high end.

Will allow more people to try the hybrid experience.

Hasn't that been one of your gripes from Day One, Gary? Hybrids too expensive for Joe Public?

Now you can get a gas engine car for about $10K less than a Jetta TDI which will give it a run for it's money in highway mileage and trash it for sure in the city.

No other hybrid or non-hybrid can say THAT.

Can it?
