			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hybrid technology has become all the rage. If you are thinking about an eco-friendly vehicle with the best in green technology then you can&#8217;t go wrong with the <a title="2010 Honda Insight Hybrid" href="http://blog.vinart.com/vehicles/honda/" target="_self">2010 Honda Insight Hybrid</a>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="2010 Honda Insight Hybrid" src="http://production.autoconversion.net/images/featuredvehicles/honda-insight-hybrid-2010.jpg" alt="2010 Honda Insight Hybrid" width="340" height="215" /></p>
<p>One of the defining features of the 2010 Honda Insight Hybrid is Eco Assist. This trademarked technology is based on two functions:</p>
<ol>
<li>A sophisticated feedback system designed to teach you how to drive more efficiently;</li>
<li>and an ECON button designed to help you get better gas mileage.</li>
</ol>
<p>As if the estimated 41 combined mpg isn&#8217;t enough. That&#8217;s 40 in the city and 43 on the highway. And at less than $20,000 MSRP, that&#8217;s a bargain. You won&#8217;t have to be afraid of gas prices at the pump again.</p>
<p>Honda&#8217;s philosophy is to maximize machine performance with driver performance and it shows in design, drivability and fuel efficiency. This is one hybrid that will get non-green conscious drivers excited.</p>
<p>In addition to Eco Assist, Honda has put other state-of-the-art green technology into the Honda Insight. This includes the Integrated Motor Assist System. The smaller motor is designed to provide additional power and torque in assist mode and is small enough to sit between the engine and the transmission and function as a generater for the IMA during deceleration. It&#8217;s a unique feature that should excite all drivers.</p>
<p>The engine is a 1.3-liter i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine, which doesn&#8217;t sound like much, but remember &#8211; this is a hybrid. The transmission is standard CVT.</p>
<p>Accolades for the 2010 Honda Insight Hybrid have come from a variety of sources to include Kelley Blue Book, Edmunds, <em>Car &amp; Driver</em> magazine, <em>MotorTrend</em>, Union of Concerned Scientists and the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, who named the 2010 Insight one of the greenest vehicles of 2010. Polk recognized Honda for having the highest owner loyalty of any auto brand and the <a title="2010 Honda Insight Hybrid" href="http://blog.vinart.com/vehicles/honda/" target="_self">2010 Honda Insight Hybrid</a> is a good reason why.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re ready to drive green and you&#8217;re looking for a vehicle that has it right then this is the vehicle for you.</p>
