We linked to a very cool Vimeo ad for the Honda Insight a few weeks back, but now the reviews of the actual car are out and they aren't very good.
With gems like

So you’re sitting there with the engine screaming its head off, and your ears bleeding, and you’re doing only 23mph because that’s about the top speed, and you’re thinking things can’t get any worse, and then they do because you run over a small piece of grit.
