Can't wait to test drive the CRZ. How soon before we start seeing them in dealerships and will it be to the point where we can actually test drive them or they gonna be limited?

I'm guessing these will tough to get your hands on once they hit the dealerships...test drives will probably only be for very very serious buyers.

Test drives would be a dealerships major selling point for this car. Wouldn't see why they wouldn't bring in a dealer only car for people to test drive. Have it displayed at car shows / major events / etc in a city to build popularity

On another note, has anyone test drove a Honda Insight?

Haven't seen many Insights driving around at all in my area.....can only assume they are at the dealership for test drives. Popular anywhere else??

None where I live...but lets be honest, they dont stick out!!

If I test drive a Insight it might turn me off hybrids!!

I've driven both the new Insight as well as the new Prius (I change cars often so my local dealers like me).

In a nutshell, the Prius is much better than the Insight. Unfortunately for Honda, Toyota dropped the entry price for the Prius when Honda announced Insight pricing. Prior to the Prius price drop, Honda had a slam-dunk - undercutting Toyota by a few thousand. Even so, the Honda isn't awful; if you simply hate Toyotas or the way they look/feel, the Insight is a decent alternative.

I've heard that Honda isn't having any trouble selling every Insight they make, though.
