I test drove a 2012 CR-Z and I was hoping for just a little more umph. Had the car had maybe 170 bhp and returned 30-35 mpg rather than the 120 something it has and just 40 mpg, then I would be a lot more inclined to buy it. It's just too slow for the looks.

I also like the 2nd gen Insight, much more than the Prius. I like it's "torquey" ICE only feel to it, rather than the wafty sloshy Prius CVT feel.

You're definitely in the minority! (As am I with the gen. 1 Insight.)

HypermileQC: the 1st gen Prius was CVT only.

You're right, I did a research and there is only CVT Prius. Sorry for misinformation.

I saw a little Kei pickup truck in town at the farmers market on Saturday but didn't have a camera. So I might just be making this up.

Hypermileqc... bummer about missing that Insight!

Yeah, it was really frustrating when I received the text : désolé déja vendu (sorry already sold). I tried to call him and he never re-called me. He was selling the Insight...

I will have great news for you this week though...

I tried them all, but Sport just wasn't satisfying enough. It seemed like it was trying too hard to be fun without having much to give.
