    Default Tommy Kaira Hybrid Tuning

    Honda Insight











    Toyota Prius

















    I'm really interested to see if Hybrid Tuning will catch on over here like it has in Japan.

    I'd rock both of em. Hybrid Tuning is the wave of the future. As more of them come out, more folks will get em and tune em. It's the next wave, it's inevitable.

    How much power can you really get out of them though??

    the CR-Z should bring in a new wave of people to the hybrid power plant

    Not everyone is interested in power. I think it's more about having a good commuter car with an individualized sense of style.

    I'm very interested in the CR-Z. If Honda can design an efficient, sporty hybrid with excellent handling, I'll be first in line.

    The Insight actually looks pretty good here. Too bad it's been voted as the Worst Honda of All Time by quite a few reputable sources.

    They really aren't bad at all! The only thing i don't like about the Insight, is that the grill seems to open. Needs an emblem or something in the middle.

    gawd, I hate them! I hate hybrids, why do they have to be so ugly. And I really hate the prius, always have, even more when the pops bought one (thankfully got rid of it for a Cayenne S); they need to collect all of them, smash them up, and figure out how to break them down into some form of fuel to be used in my car, now that, would be true fuel efficiency.

    Skies of Arcadia for Dreamcast was the most fun I ever had playing video games alone.

    It's good to have a reputation as the Honda nutswinger for even the lamest of Honda offerings.

    I saw a black prius with limo tint and a nice set of 16"s the other day, and it actually surprised me how good it looked.
