Default hybrid car comparison
At first, this looks like a typical comparison with columns of data, but when you scroll down, you'll notice that they also make visual comparisons (ie, pictures) of corresponding parts such as tires, cargo space, driver-side door, etc . . .

Compare Cars | Hybrid Cars (Prius/Fusion/Insight)

Compare Cars | Hybrid Cars (Escape/Highlander/Vue)

Biased! For the Insight, they listed the base price yet they show the pictures for the EX model with Navi! That's the fully loaded model with alloy wheels, etc..!

It looks like they are comparing base models for all 3. Prius base doesn't come with sunroof.

Base models of all three cars lack sun/moonroof and navigation.

Individual pics of sunroof and navigattion systems are scrolled further down the display where "no photo available" is listed for Prius...
This is nit picking but when comparisons are made they should be apples and apples. One might assume that since pics follow some and not others...
Oh well just sensitive a little after reading the VW TDI / Prius comparison discussion...

Very nice, thanks. Now that's what I call Build Your Car - can I get the Prius with the Insight headlights and front seat cupholders (only 1 in the Prius, not good).

Where? Obviously not a show-stopper but DW and I are used to having 2 cup holders between the front seats.
