Rep Power: 787 my bad, I meant to say headlights. I saw in the booklet they're clear for the hybrids. And i can't edit the title for some reason.

Rep Power: 787 thanks! I went to the dealer and they don't have the hybrids. But clearly in their book it doesn't have the orange lens. Okay well the honda site has pics and yes they are clear corners. Can't post a pic cause i'm at work and the mac sucks.

the point of the wheels is so the car is easily recognizable as 'different' and so they are lighter than steelies, no?

Rep Power: 787 point of those wheels is aerodynamics. They do stuff with air movement to crease less drag. Thats why the shape is like that. And they are also alot lighter for better acceleration (which it needs).

Rep Power: 310 They could've done it worse...
They could've put the wheel cover thingy like in the Insight...
And by the way... Hybrid, meet Hybrid. They have the same wheels.

All I know is that the Toyota Prius holds the hybrid land speed record (I think it's at 123 mi/h... incredible for a hybrid!)

It's Honda's, let's say, flagship hybrid.
Honda at the moment has three hybrid models. The Insight makes at an incredible 60-66 mpg... Civic makes around 40 mpg (correct me please) and the Accord... well... I really have no info on my head on those...
