TheCarConnection.com's spies just caught Honda's hybrid-only model that's designed to take on the Toyota Prius. The shape and packaging of this prototype is clearly Prius-inspired, although the overall size looks larger than Toyota's hybrid favorite. The test group consisted of a Toyota Prius, Honda's face-lifted Civic Hybrid, and this prototype, which is sure to be considered the top of Honda's hybrid vehicle range.--KGP Photography

    haha they are so busted. Bring on the Fit Hybrid.
    Looks like they've made liberal use of their Homeland Security stockpile of duct tape. :-)

    That looks like a carbon copy of the Prius. Come on guys, show some originality.

    Why doesn't Honda save themselves some R&D money, and just put the original Insight back into production?
    Thanks for the photos.

    Good golly, Miss Molly!
    That car looks strikingly similar to -- no, let's say congruent with the
    shape of the current Prius.
    Maybe they should name it the HINDSIGHT... as in 20-20.

    That's funny. it's like the chopped the front end off of a prius and a honda, swapped the two, and welded them back together. where's the honda with a prius front end? lol.

    Gary, the Insight was a two seater and sales numbers were small. I do hope Honda uses the Insight name though.
    My bet is the new hybrid will look very much like the FCX Clarity hrydogen car.

    Ok, seriously, I love the spy shots, but are we sure that this is a Honda? It looks like a Prius with a generic grill. I seriously hope that Honda takes a bit of originality with the upcoming Hybrid only car. The insight was a great Hybrid only, but too limited on space for most of the buying public.

    Come on guys.....Honda said the car would resemble the FCX Clarity and it does. They will sell a ton.

    They say.."Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"...but, a COMPLETE knock-off!?!?! What the hell Honda?!? For a moment I thought those were false camo body panels made to imitate the Prius, but no, that's actual sheet metal. Honda, you hafta stop hiring Toyota's designers!!! First, the 2009 TL goes all Lexus GS on us, and now THIS!!! Don't get me wrong, the 2009 TL looks great, but where's the originality???
