I work at honda and one of the big things there talking about this "ECO" deal is that there hoping it helps people with resale of the vehicle.

Being as it keeps a overall "score" of your driving, someone buying the vehicle from you can tell how you treated the vehicle when driving.

Pretty smart if you ask me.

Is there a separate module or can you just clear the ECU... because if the latter was true that would be dumb.

But, yeah it would be a cool PTS button

wow.

thats exactly what its like, its really a genius idea.

its something people will, whether they notice it or not, actually get into. people will try to beat their personal bests and actually get competitive with themselves about it.

whether or not it will actually be that big of a difference as far as being "eco friendly" i'd be willing to bet it will help people get better fuel economy as well as driving more responsibly

i cant believe you guys. fucking make me sick.



are we drivers or are we fruitcakes? seriously, dont look at the stupid blue/green gauge, LOOK AT THE CARS in the fucking video, doesnt matter if you watch the street or highway videos. EVERY FUCKING CAR IS WALKING AWAY from this piece of shit. I am not talking about sportscars. I am talking about normal cars and huge diesel trucks! Ever play Mario Kart? Its like really driving with Donkey Kong Jr or Bowser, but with no fucking top end! Correction, its like playing shrunken Donkey Kong or Bowser, because anything that hits you will flatten you.. plus you're more slow.

Driving a 2010 Honda Insight must be like chopping your balls off, then giving them to a Japanese chef to fuckin slice and dice.

I've driven plenty of slow cars, I own a Miata for chrissake. But this is beyond slow, this is like asking Honda to build a chassis with 4 wheels so that you can sit in it, wait in traffic for endless hours, and then wait to either get hit by a fuckin car or die from a clogged artery.

I hate everything about their marketing campaign, from their green point of view to the containers of water in the cup holder (not soda). I mean I dont drink Soda, but come on.. whats with the eco-friendly environment their trying to promote. Seriously, give me a break.

Note to honda: go sell crazy somewhere else, we're all stocked up.

yeah well, thats assuming people buy this pile of shit. considering how well the prius has been selling, i wouldnt doubt it if we see more of these freeway obstacles on the road as the years pass.

i agree. most americans could care less how fast a car is, as long as it gets good fuel mileage. different strokes for different folks.

Seriously, I'm not going to buy this car but it doesn't personally enrage me that it exists.

I can't be bothered.

Mike, Mike, Mike...This stuff really gets to you man.

Why do you get so worked up about a car that you HAVE to buy? That's the reason we have 100 cars on the market. You don't like one...you buy another. If this isn't for you buy a car that shits on electronics and the environment.

This car is going to sell like crack in the hood and douche bags, and yuppies are going to sit around and compare their eco friendly driving numbers with each other over crumpets and tea. But who gives a shit? That's why they are douche bags and you are Mike.

Funny that you call them freeway obstacles, not sure around you, but it seems like the douches that buy these cars around here drive faster than anyone else.

you still exist? die.


i dont like these cars because they take precious room on my streets and highways. like i said, freeway obstacles.

the car itself doesnt piss me off, its the marketing campaign with this stupid bitch trying to convince us that digitized-green-leaves are rewarding! yay, we're all doing our share to promote a cleaner environment!

why doesnt the government send us flowers for using less energy? why? because no one fucking cares about saving the environment, only 13 year old girls who've been brainwashed.


im all about global warming, cutting trees, spilling oil down our sewers, and driving cars that pollute and contaminate the environment. i cant wait for earth to look like mad max or fist of the north star.

i duno about u guys, but i've driven a prius for a few years
everytime i get into that car, i always find myself staring at those screen telling me my gas mileage, in turns i'd want to "beat" my own MPG record
thus, not paying as much attention to the road, accelerating slow n etc

but when i get back into my 240, then its all another game....

Cool concept, but I can see more road rage in the future.

"Hmm. I think I will go 25 in a 40 zone, just so I can get some more leaves."

definitely.
as if traffic and slow drivers aren't enough of a problem here out in LA.
it's no coincidence that prius is so popular here as is.
last thing we need is some device encouraging even more slow & inconsiderate driving.

If this car didn't exist your "precious" space will be taken up by some other car, and its probably not going to be moving fast, because people that drive slow are going to drive slow whether its an insight or a *whatever fast car you feel like avoiding today*

There are better ways to fuck the environment than by installing LED tail lights into miatas, s13s and NSXs. So if you're really that into it then in the words of the giants who have stood on this earth before me "You're doing it wrong"

iRobot is going to happen and soon the cars will be driving humans.

I like the pretty colors.

Actually, for bad drivers.. this might be a miracle because most bad drivers do not know when to brake, coast, and speed in different situations lol which would be common sense to some other people.

if the bar thing hits the left it should say, "you fucking suck, quit life, roll off the freeway please." then it will do so and somehow not kill anyone else lol.

The Ford Fusion hybrid has leaves that grow on the dash as you drive green. Get lead footed and leaves fall off. Called "SmartGauge™ Cluster with EcoGuide"

Fords leaf thing looks better. The Fusion looks better too. And they got 1,445.7 miles on a single tank of gas in the Fusion. And it's a mid size car.

I'll take the Ford believe it or not.

Exactly which streets do you personally own? Last I checked, we share the roads, quit acting like society is inconveniencing you by taking on a little responsibility. This world doesn't owe you shit, freedom of choice man, some people are all about this stuff, you are on the extreme opposite, but remember, there is gray area where we couldn't care less either way, this is where most of us live, join us, it's a nice place.

Be Easy.
Don't buy the car
Change the channel when you see the commercial.

I think the car is pretty cool.
The Fusion is nice too 46 mpg.

When you move out and get into the real world, you'll then realize that $ wasted on gas can go to other bills or some other "JDM TYTE" parts lol.

Plus highway obstacles make the ride interesting. :-)
They're like moving cones, except they're all not orange.

I wonder if the Insight has VTEC....

Man, Lester Leadfoot can't drive for dick...

I'd like to have one of these cars as a daily driver though. That's alot of money saved on gas... Fuck I think I spend close to $60 a weekend on gas.
