Wow….so it's official, Honda will offer the first Manual Hybrid…hopefully it'll be priced reasonably, otherwise you might as well go for the Civic Si.
"At four metres long and priced from around £18k in the UK"
—Nevermind…
This looks pretty nice. I, too, like the interior, but that Honda corporate steering wheel's bulbous center hub looks like a zit that needs to be popped.
The original Insight introduced back in 1999 was available with a manual transmission.
I love this car and I've yet to even see one in person… *sigh*
The manual transmission on the original Insight was what kept many buyers away. By the time they offered the auto a couple years later, there was little interest in the car. Hopefully, they are not repeating that same mistake again. Take some insight from the sales leader in hybrids; Toyota. Have you ever seen a manual Prius? Just because it has 2 doors, doesn't mean people want to shift it.
I agree the corporate steering wheel is awkward at best. Looks more like a tit to me.
I love it!
The interior looks great too!
"Looks more like a tit to me."
Honk! Hoooonk! Aoooooogah! 😀
