Post by: MikeMac on July 13, 2020, 12:02:18 pm: My daily driver is an 05' Insight. There is more room on the inside than a Fiero and the fuel economy isn't bad either.

Post by: GTRS Fiero on July 13, 2020, 06:11:45 pm: Peppy is not a term I'd use for the Insight, and 52 MPG (certainly typical in a gas-only '86 Chevy Sprint)...never got anywhere close.

Sometimes, I think that the manufacturers design cars for people with a different body layout than I have.

I certainly hope the Insight has more interior space. Maybe a comparison to the Del Sol.

I saw MikeMac get into his. He bent way over.

BTW, it hit me that that was your voice on there, with your neighbor. Interesting how people sound.

We're eventually going to compare my Fiero to his 2000? 2001? Prelude

Actually, I don't sound like that.

The part about first hybrid in the US didn't sound right, so I looked it up. GM made the 512 Hybrid in 1968. That is more than 3 decades prior to the Japanese hybrids.

The first hybrid sold in the states was the Prius and then the Insight. The insight only has a 1 liter 3 cylinder so power isn't great but I got 62MPG on my last trip to Nashville so I won't complain.
