When honda came out with the 2010 insight its body is the same as the toyota prius. why?

you would think that honda would want to separate itself from toyotas hybrid car and have a different body style.When honda came out with the 2010 insight its body is the same as the toyota prius. why?Because it's the most aerodynamic body style so far, as for gas mileage goes. Look at the Chevrolet Volt it also resembles the same body style but with a small trunk: http://www.gotbroken.com/wp-content/uplo鈥?/a> It's a plug-in hybrid from Chevrolet that's supposed to get over 230 mpg and will be on sale later this year.When honda came out with the 2010 insight its body is the same as the toyota prius. why?You can't really change the appearance and still have good aerodynamics. As the other posters have indicated all aerodynamic cars look pretty much the same because you can't cheat physics if you're going for the least amount of drag. This goes right back to the 1955 Citroen ID and later DS models. The main difference is that the engineers of the fifties didn't know about the Kamm effect so the back was teardrop shaped rather than cut off.When honda came out with the 2010 insight its body is the same as the toyota prius. why?As it happens, cars of this size with superior aerodynamics tend to look alike: wedge and/or teardrop starting at the front, cutting off sharply in the back. Even non-hybrids tend to have shapes along these lines nowadays.

The left side suspension looks lower than the right side on my honda del sol?

I bought a 95 honda del sol and took it for alignment, but didn't pass. The left side front and rear tires are a little lower than the right side. I eye balled the springs and they look about the same. What could cause this? Please help?The left side suspension looks lower than the right side on my honda del sol?Measure! Get a tape and measure from ground to wheelarch on both sides, front and rear. This is something that an alignment shop should do on an older car anyway as part of their initial inspection.



If it is indeed sitting lower on one side, it's likely on a Honda that a spring is broken, they're known for it. They break near the top and can be hard to spot. Otherwise they're just worn and sagged more on one side, which would have to mean a previous owner was heavy and drove alone!



How do you FAIL an alignment??????? The car is road tested, lifted up, checked for play (Did you have any loose components?) ... the heads are put on the wheels, the car is lowered onto the tables, the angles are measured. Toe is set if it's off (You would know if your steering wheel was off centre) and camber and caster are measured (These generally cause pulling). Almost everything on a Honda is adjustable... though sometimes you need to replace parts to do it.

Can i put a 2004 Honda Pilot Navigation System on a 2008 Honda Pilot?

I want to put a 2004 Honda Pilot OEM navi system on my 2008 Honda Pilot VP. Is that possible? why or why not? thanx.Can i put a 2004 Honda Pilot Navigation System on a 2008 Honda Pilot?It's possible, but it's going to be VERY hard, because you are going to have to pull all of the harnesses out of the older vehicle and run them in the new one, because you are going to need tach and transmission sensors, as well as the OEM GPS antenna.



-In short, I wouldn't try it, because you'll have to ruin the 2004 honda to get it done, and even if you get it completed, the maps are 6 years old, and updating to new maps will easily cost you another $150.
