Honda is recycling the Insight name again. 3rd time's a charm? This time, instead of building a dedicated hybrid platform as it did for the first 2 cars, the 3rd attempt looks like a de-uglified version of the Civic sedan. http://ecomodder.com/forum/attachmen...1&d=1513780708 So basically, it's a Civic Hybrid in all but name, with slightly less crazy sheet metal and fewer fake vents. We don't know any drivetrain details yet. Jalopnik says the above "prototype" will be shown at the upcoming Detroit auto show, so we may learn more details then. https://jalopnik.com/honda-tries-aga...ght-1821422214 |

The Civic, for comparison:

Not sure which one I like / dislike more...
Hopefully the drivetrain is impressive. C'mon Honda, we know you got it in you. |
I'm sure the new drivetrain will be more impressive than IMA was, in terms of efficiency (and hopefully battery longevity).
It'll surely have an EV-only mode like the new Accord hybrid. If it doesn't, I give up on Honda. |
better drivetrain
Yup, GCR mentions the use of a 2-motor system:

Re: aero...
Honda hasn't released the Cd of the 2016 Civic sedan on which this is based. The only reference I can find is: Quote:
So, it's better than the 2015 model is all we know. |
Looks quite aero to me, especially in light of the typical vehicle. Smooth taper from roof to trunk.
|
I liked the looks of my G1 Insight a lot better.
This looks just like everything else on the road. If you slapped a Mitsubishi or Hyundai emblem on it I wouldn't know the difference |
|
Hard to tell the scale by the pictures, but the new Clarity is a very large car. I was just at the Honda dealer getting my airbags replaced on the Civic and eyed one up in the showroom.
