Honda’s Not-So-Mean Green Machine
Jeremy Clarkson writes this hilarious piece on this experience with the new Honda Insight 1.3 IMA SE Hybrid.
“So here goes. It’s terrible. Biblically terrible. Possibly the worst new car money can buy. It’s the first car I’ve ever considered crashing into a tree, on purpose, so I didn’t have to drive it any more. “
I have normally viewed Honda as a superlative maker of excellent cars, but obviously their foray into new, greener technologies is not quite up to par:
“Normally, Hondas feel as though they have been screwed together by eye surgeons. This one, however, feels as if it’s been made from steel so thin, you could read through it. And the seats, finished in pleblon, are designed specifically, it seems, to ruin your skeleton. This is hairy-shirted eco-ism at its very worst. “
I think I’ll stay away… 
It’s not often that you hear someone describe something as “biblically terrible”…
