The Honda Insight was the first
modern hybrid gasoline-electric
vehicle to hit the US market, beating Toyota's Prius to the showroom by a few
months back in the year 2000. Remember the year 2000? Y2K? Did you ever find another use for the bomb shelter and apocalypse hideout you built for your family? Did you know that Spam
does have an expiration date? Anyway, first generation Insight
didn't sell well compared to the Prius which is
a shame because it was an actual driver's car, complete with manual transmission and proper feedback from the steering wheel. The only real complaint you could have is that the combined gas-electric 73 horsepower won't thrill in the year 2014...but what if someone offered you a 200 horsepower Insight? Find this

The first generation Honda Insight is an early Japanese gas-electric hybrid that features the strange combination of lean-burn engine, a 5-speed manual transmission, extruded aluminum monocoque construction and a sub-1900 lb curb weight -- but is it fun? Yes, albeit with moderate acceleration due to the combined 73 horsepower and pizza cutter tires. However, a K-series Honda engine will fit under the hood.
