Note to Toyota, your stuff does stink ...

I don't get it, you are saying Honda Insight, but it looks exactly like a Toyota Prius and it is seen in the same pictures right next to a Prius. But, it's a Honda? Wait what?

Look at the pics of the front end - that's no Toyota. Looks like a Honda Civic front end.

Why does the Honda team have a white Prius?

Even if it is a Honda, it's obviously nothing original. As far as I'm concerned it's a knock-off Prius.

I think someone needs glasses, that car is a Prius. You can even see the Toyota emblem with tape over it.

Well, the antennae is not a Prius antennae. It's too close to the glass and there's no water sprayer.

Of course, the door handles are different. They lift up, not out.

And that one black cover is hiding a horizontal headlight assembly.

Look at the interior in the 7th picture. The driver's console is exactly like the Civic ones. Speed on top, tach on bottom.

Hmm, thoroughly ripped off exterior with a different interior.
