Is this like an FCX clarity for the rest of us?

Nope. That's a fuel cell car, this is a full on hybrid.

CLEANER NEW HONDA INSIGHT REVEALED

Lower emissions of 96 g/km for 2012 model

Honda will unveil a cleaner, higher quality Insight hybrid at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

The revised 5-door hatchback will have lower CO2 emissions of 96g/km*, achieved through enhanced aerodynamics and powertrain efficiency. Reduced engine friction, changes to the CVT transmission and improved air conditioning all contribute to lower fuel consumption.

These changes mean that the 2012 Insight once again qualifies for exemption from the London Congestion Charge, and falls into the lowest VED band, meaning owners will pay no annual road tax. The new figures also ensure that Insight remains in one of the lowest groups for Benefit in Kind taxation.

For 2012, the Insight also receives a refresh of the exterior design, including a new front grille. At the back, visibility is increased through the introduction of a slimmer spolier and a modified tailgate garnish, and a reduction in the size of the wiper motor.

Adjustments have also been made to the engine and suspension for an overall improvement to ride comfort and stability, and interior quality has been enhanced.

This is an IMA based Hybrid Vehicle.

And a Reasonably cheap one at that.

this just looks like a better looking version of the prius, the original insight was so much more original

[ScionDriver]

I like the looks, a lot like the FCX and just cool. They use these on the new show "Parks and Recreation"

Why do all Hybrids look fail?

[Matra et Alpine]

Because they are all optimised for the best aerodynamic figures acheivable so they are as "green" and efficient as possible. So the computer software analysing the optiosn will always come up with the same solution

IIRC the new Merc E-Class has a 0,24 CX coefficient which is pretty excellent and doesn't look anything like this.

Is that the Coupe announced at Geneva ?
It's not 4 door and smaller passenger compartment possibly.
Don't have access to all the figures.
But yes it is interesting times

Is their figures for an E-class 4-door and reasonable boot ? Don't know
