Showdown: 2010 Toyota Prius vs. 2010 Honda Insight
It's not just about miles per gallon (and if it was the Prius would win)
Introduction
In the race to dominate the hybrid market, there really are only two players--Toyota and Honda. While Ford and General Motors ramp up to speed with gas-electric vehicles, it's the Japanese duo that's been selling hybrids in the U.S. for more than ten years and has captured the most buyers.
This year, both Toyota and Honda are sending out new five-door hybrids to battle for more market share while they emit fewer carbon emissions and consume fewer gallons of gas in the process. They're similar in concept--but very different in execution. And one of them figures more highly in TheCarConnection.com's numeric ratings and, no surprise, in the monthly sales derby.
