2010 Prius, new Insight given the onceover by SoCal Honda dealers

Price war, price war, price war. By now, you're probably all pretty familiar with the battle that is brewing between the numbers that will grace the Honda Insight and the Toyota Prius. Aside from the price, though, these two vehicles are different in size and handling and features. Honda dealers, at least those in Southern California, are getting a hands-on look at what those differences are. Green Car Advisor's Greg Johnson happened to see a parade of Insights and Priuses cruise down the street to where the dealers were learning about the new Insight, which goes on sale next week, and that tipped him off that the Prius is also part of their education. He asked around and found his hunch was right. Honda didn't say exactly what the dealers are being told, but you can trust that they'll be looking to move as many as possible before the Prius actually goes on sale later this spring.
