I look at that and all I can think of is the car rental commercial where marketing people are hashing out ideas and think of aromatherapy candles and they imagine everyone sooo relaxed in the car they are all asleep.....including the driver.

i got it for my civic and BOY it makes my civic seat looks cheap (well it is!) and this makes me it feel like i'm sitting in plush luxury to the point I can relax in stop and go traffic. I can't wait to put it in my future hybrid

... just hide it when your going to work

off topic:

But that reminds me of the saying "When I die I want to go like my grandfather did. In his sleep, not screaming and kicking like everyone else in the car"..

There is definitely enough room for a couple of briefcases. You can put them in the hidden compartment under the hatchback, or put them in the hatchback secured with the net. I think golf clubs would fit, but I haven't tried.

I've definately put golf clubs in my Insight's hatch. You have to put the bag in on a bit of a diagonal, but they do fit. ;-)

You can even put 200 cm skis in it.

Pop the hatch and the doors and you have one quick 70mpg styling golf cart

I've made the golf cart quip myself....

I was talking to a co-worker tonight and he wanted to talk Hybrids, so we talked about toyota /honda cars he wanted a two seater.. I told him to check out the insight
as I thought he would be happy with that..

My Wife and I up front, our two small dogs in the back, and off we go! Gas prices? No matter what they do, we're ok at 48mgp!
