QOTD

From Jeremy Clarkson, one of the boys on Top Gear regarding the Honda Insight:
And the sound is worse. The Honda’s petrol engine is a much-shaved, built-for-economy, low-friction 1.3 that, at full chat, makes a noise worse than someone else’s crying baby on an airliner. It’s worse than the sound of your parachute failing to open. Really, to get an idea of how awful it is, you’d have to sit a dog on a ham slicer.

I haven't driven one yet, but from what I've seen so far, I haven't been impressed. I was impressed by the drivability of the Prius. I still wouldn't want one for myself, but at least it is a decent car, and not merely a fashion statement.
