A Youtube video seems to have surfaced on the internet with stills of a Japanese market Honda Insight brochure, revealing to us abit more of the production hybrid vehicle that Honda will be exhibiting at the 2009 Detroit Motor Show in January next year.
The shots also reveal that Honda has also gotten ready a Modulo kit for the Insight, for those who want to go green but still look stylish at the same time. Two choices of interior colour are available – something dark and the other is beige.
With the tax-exemption on hybrid cars in Malaysia right now, will Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd offer this here? It all depends on whether they see a market for it and whether they can get an allocation from Japan. Speaking of Honda hybrids, the Civic Hybrid has still not been priced properly yet!

Erm…..
I thought the price for the Civic Hybrid has been set to RM125k?
Anyway, what’s with the Prius-y silhouette?
I know aerodynamics matters but I’m suuuuure that there is a better way to execute the design to fit the form, no?
A very nice front otherwise.
ps. I can soooo see this as a Caldina for for the greeny. He he.
of all parts of the car, the dashboard looks more exciting than the current civic… nice
Now we know where the City’s inherit its looks.
I like the front look.
It had ‘muscle car’ look a bit.
but the backside profile.. sigh.. that was look like old Honda CRX
erm …
i not very like the tail ..
bit tall ..
This Insight Hybrid has the same (or almost) front grill with Japanese Accord. I’d say this one looks much better, as it is more aerodynamic, which contributes to a little sporty attitude.
Design is nice, perhaps the tail is one factor that causes dislikeness. Also, gotta agree with lfsism, the dashboard looks much exciting than current Civic. Makes me feel like a pilot on the road. LOL.
With such aggressive look and feel, it’s pathetic if it only aims to save petrol. If it could produce 180 bhp or above then it is a different story.
The dashboard looks cancerous… eughhh… like a prank engineering or something?
this is wat i call alien…
Jeeez. That dashboard is an outright mess.
a car with spaceship dashboard.. err cockpit .
even look modern, i wish it’s not confusing the driver.
Dashboard looks more like a high end Hi-fi system rather than in a car. More cluttered than the current civic
no ckd version?
