    No. The Insight has a semi-independent torsion beam rear suspension like the Honda Fit.

    Thanks for the info!

    Sounds like the Insight will be a high revving motor. Not my cup of tea, but some will like it.

    Might be 'interesting' doing backroads on the Insight's 175 width tires. :eek:

    i am amazed at everyone's disdain of cutting edge Toyota styling up until the Prius... i only have to look (with EXTREME pain) at the Scion xB to appreciate what i have and know that (they will never get into high fashion design) what i have is beautiful
