SANTA MONICA, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Apr 21, 2009
Inside
Line, Edmunds.com's
high-speed online car magazine, today announced that the 2010
Toyota Prius beat the 2010
Honda Insight in the comparison test described in full at 2010
Honda Insight vs. 2010 Toyota Prius Comparison Test.
"The 2010
Toyota Prius is quicker, it stops shorter and, with its smoother
ride quality and quieter cabin, it’s the one you want to be in when
commuting," says Erin Riches, Edmunds’
Inside Line Senior Editor.
In the comparison test, the 2010
Honda Insight was praised for its steering and for the
responsiveness of its continuously variable transmission (CVT).
“Consumers who cross-shop the Honda Insight and the Toyota Prius will
find two rather different vehicles,” said John O’Dell, Senior Editor of
Edmunds’ GreenCarAdvisor.com.
“And the selection of compelling hybrids in the marketplace will
continue to grow over the months and years to come.”
