Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

As with every other vehicle to which Honda has granted the Insight badge, the 2019 Insight will be a hybrid.

It'll use Honda's two-motor hybrid system, the same that's in the Accord Hybrid.

It will be interesting to see how Honda positions this new hybrid relative to the Accord Hybrid, which is an excellent car in its own right.

While the version of the Insight we'll see in Detroit carries a Prototype badge, odds are there won't be too many changes between this version and the production version.
