There are some inaccuracies in this article, which turns out to be full of opinion. The Honda hybrids are fully capable of driving without a functional IMA system, while the Prius cannot, contrary to the assertion in this piece. The Insight was always intended as a direct evolution of the CRX HF, with the goal of maximum fuel economy. It wasn't supposed to compete with anything else, but it occupied a unique niche. Unfortunately that niche was beaten into a tiny sliver of what it should have been, due to external political forces and engineered incentives spawned by US domestic manufacturers in an effort to capitalize on the grief and short-sightedness of the population.
