What are the other vehicles in the photos? Obviously there is a Prius, but also a Honda Civic Hybrid. The Ford in the background isn't an Escape, which nixes my notion of a hybrid-off competition.

Honda will reveal a concept version of its new small hybrid vehicle, to be named Insight, at the 2008 Paris International Auto Show, October 2, the company announced today. The new Insight Concept shares styling cues with the Honda FCX Clarity fuel cell vehicle and will provide an early look at the highly-anticipated five-passenger hybrid vehicle.
Going on sale in the U.S. next spring, the all-new purpose-built Insight will come to market at a price significantly below hybrids available today. From this unique position in the marketplace, the Insight will advance the affordability and accessibility of hybrid technology to a new generation of buyers.

I agree this thing looks just like a Prius, but I think it's going to be big. At a pricepoint of under $19k this will open the door to many that wanted a hybrid but couldn't or didn't want to pay extra for one.
I give Honda big props... except I just don't know why they didn't retool the Civic Hybrid instead.
