Sure, poor man's HCH or poor man's HSD, they are all fine descriptions. Indeed, that was their design goal, so seems they succeeded. Most Prius...
Could you provide some links about Insight's CVT? Could you comment on the cost/reliability of Insight's "cone-and-belt" as opposed to the more...
I have 2 Honda's albeit I wouldn't categorize myself as having a strong preference for Honda's. I have been following Prius and I am a big fan of...

When was the last time you carried 5 people????? I drive with 3-4 adults perhaps once every 2 months or so. Even then we go a short distance, say...
Ahhh, I assumed max 8K RPM ... although red section starts around 7K RPM, at least in my conventional cars. So Prius has a smaller RPM range and...
Thanks for the info. Hmmm, now I am confused. Doesn't sound like it works too hard. So it only needs 15 kW of ICE's 57 kW, again light...
What is the typical ICE RPM in the current Prius with 1.5L engine? I mean average drving, like cruising on highway say around 60-70 mph and such....

Ooops, that was a typo. I should have said 5 kW instead of 15 kW for generator. Thanks. Ahhh, didn't know that although makes perfect sense....
