Toyota to the name chosen by IQ for this model, where the "I" is for innovation and individualism and the "Q" is quality and Cubic. The design of the small Japanese model is based on some current models of the brand, such as the Yaris and Auris, but unlike them, the IQ has another goal and another class of customer.

At the front, the IQ stands out for having some original optics and a nice design, which makes a very good combination with the logo of the brand and with small outlets that are, one in the middle and bottom. The side is easy, but with some interesting details, like the remarkable completion of the second window and a door wide enough. And in his rear, is where we see the most radical change with respect to other models of the brand, as its optical continuous line of the side window (with several cuts on the same optical) and some that make pasaruedas paragolpes.

Honda Insight Concept, the latest from Paris
Honda officially presented the first images of its prototype Insight. This model as we can see, this thought out and designed to attack the Prius, Toyota’s vehicle to change the way you see the hybrid models.
The Insight, as I said earlier attacked mercilessly to the Prius, where as seen in the picture, until the design has something to do with the model of Toyota. Of course, this is more modern and has a better handling of the electrical system. But at the same time remains, as a basis, the same mechanics of the Civic IMA.

The new model of Honda, will mark an important change, since they will see in another way this hybrid technology. This also improved in all respects, with respect to their ancestors, as in the previous Insight and clear of the current Prius. What still remains in doubt is soon going to assert, as if it is very expensive, the model will not have the expected success.
As for the aesthetic model is very nice, because its continuous line in the party already imposed by the FC-X Clarity, the car largest of the new ideology of the Japanese brand.
Its front features a redesigned grille with a chrome beauty (light blue for behind), in combination with a long and thin optics in their design, and also, along with a low chrome-style Volkswagen. The sidebar is simple, (with some air to the Prius) but with some wheels of a spectacular design. And in the back, so you can see, has a completion similar to Prius, but with completely different lenses.
The price of Insight is $ 22,600, (we presume) and his rival current worth 21,500 U.S. dollars. But equally it must be borne in mind that the new Prius is not yet present, which assumes that the new Toyota model is more expensive than the current one. The goal with the Insight, is to reach annual sales of 500,000 units per year.

In the rear, are its lines converge perfectly, because everything is in continuity, something that we can see the bonnet and roof. The rear windshield is divided in two, with a distinctly aeronautical air, as its logo and its name suggests is based on the warship Stealth (clear that saving distances). But apart from this, the Centennial surprised by the design of its air intakes, as they have the same trait that front, but with much greater proportions, and finally we have the four chrome exhaust outlets and the logo of itself model.
As I had mentioned in other reports, not only is this incredible machine, but also the Volt, the Camaro Concept of the one (with some changes), the Beat, the Trax, the Hummer and now, with the latest information we can confirm we will have the impressive prototype Cadillac Cien. A ship that present Cadillac a few years ago.
