Yeah, its not nearly as edgy as the concept was. But, it'll still be the new halo car without going to an EV. They're estimating 60 mpg combined (the reason I commented on not being too excited before official ratings come out). The 1st gen Insight was only rated at 58 mpg highway (52 combined, 48 city). That means you get an updated car that gets better mileage (way better city mileage), has EV mode, is larger, costs about the same, and is safer than our previous halo car. Thats a good handful of improvements fellas.

What I do find disappointing is that the Cd is only .28 (according to some guy on priuschat). It needs a kamm back!
