INefficient electric mode? Many plugin electrics/hybrids are ~85% efficient plug-to-wheels; while the Prius' engine is just 38% efficient, at best.
My opinion on why Honda hasn't sold very many hybrids is that the Prius beats the Insight (2nd gen) by 8-10mpg while seating 5 vs 4 for the Insight.
I'm looking forward to hearing the details on the new i-DCT hybrid system. Competition means improvements all around.
