Yeah that's a good point.

The "too small" argument made sense. The original insight & prius were small. However now we have the large Accord & Escape suvs... kills that argument.



But I never understood the "too slow" argument. People come up to me and say, "What's the top speed?" Why would they think my car is any slower than theirs? Sure it's only 67hp, but that's still enough power to reach 110 miles per hour!
