Honda's "Prius-Killing" Hybrid to Launch Globally Earth Day 2009

After becoming the first company to bring a hybrid to the U.S. masses, Honda learned a painful lesson in economics as it saw its pioneering Insight model fail to generate sales and fall to the more popular Toyota Prius. Since that disappointment, Honda has bided its time and now it is ready to strike back.

If thats the case, might have to pick one of these up in a few years once my accord gets older. $19k is better than the Prius price, it looks decent, and I love Honda's.

We'll see how it works out. I love my Prius and bought my wife one, too.

Well the price point is good, and if it has as good of quality as the other Honda cars it should be a great car at a low price!

Might consider getting it for a daily driver
