Honda Insight Gets Low

The Japanese tuners at "Exclusive Zeus" may have unlocked some hidden potential in the Honda Insight. Just when you thought the new Toyota Prius had delivered the knockout blow to Honda's poorly selling hybrid, someone got the wild idea to turn the Insight into the world's first hybrid low-rider. We couldn't make this up if we tried.

The modified Insight features a lowered suspension, some new West Coast Chopperish alloy wheels squeezed into low profile tires, side skirts, a front under-spoiler, a blacked out grill and a rear apron and diffuser. All of that adds up to the most fuel efficient, fast looking, slow car this website has ever covered.

Unfortunately, a speed bump avoidance system is not included, so those ground effects will be at the mercy of the driver.

    People say it is a good idea to negotiate the new car price before you tell the dealer that you have a clunker!

    To each his own. I for one think this looks better than the stock model. I saw the earlier post somewhere about prius skirts, which i also thought looked nice. Hey, if its sells more hybrids there's nothing wrong with it. That said i would never buy the current insight. Also, West Coast Chopper is as you may have guess primarily about choppers. I would have referenced pimp my ride...

    Todd,
    I like it. It looks cool. I don't think anyone will buy one, but that's my opinion. With regard to my West Coast Chopper reference, the exact words were "West Coast Chopperish alloy wheels." Look at a close up of the wheels (available at the link included in my post). Remind you of anything? Maybe a logo you've seen before. Maybe a logo for a famous show about motorcycles? Maybe a logo for West Coast Choppers?

    Ah I see what your saying, I thought you were just saying that they were big, shiny, with low pro's on. I wasn't specifically looking at the design of the wheel.
    As for the car being slow, it may be more fitting to deck out a volt, as they will be pretty fast off the line.
