Test Drive and Review: 2010 Honda Insight

Honda is calling the 2010 Insight "the hybrid for everyone."  I think they are right.

The vehilce was designed to compete with the best-selling Toyota Prius for the same market segment but at a lower price point.

Honda lost its first to market advantage to Toyota after introducing the 2-seat original Insight in 1999.  That car turned out to be too impractical to garner significant sales and was discontinued in 2006.  Meanwhile the Prius surpassed the 1 million vehicles

Lamborghini adding solar power to factory, vows to cut range CO2 35% by 2015


In the grand scheme of things, the facilities and products of Lamborghini don't really amount to a hill of beans.

While those cars are high-powered and consume a lot of fuel per mile driven, Lamborghini owners tend to drive those cars far fewer miles than the mainstream autos the rest of us hop into on a daily basis. As such, the Lambos' total emissions don't add up

Fore! Volkswagen rolls out 2010 Jetta Golf wagon

2010 Volkswagen Golf Estate

Take a close look at the picture above. Although it might look like a new Jetta wagon, it's actually the New Golf Estate for Europe. Over there, they sell the load-lugging Variant as a Golf rather than a Jetta. Over here in the States, it is likely to eventually appear as the Jetta Wagon when the new Mk.VI models start showing up. For now, the Europeans get an updated hauler both inside and out that goes on sale in Germany this Friday at a starting price of
