As the first gas-electric hybrid car sold in the U.S. since the 1920s, the 2000 Honda Insight achieved 52 mpg combined, a record that would stand unbeaten for 16 years. But it cost $20,000 at a time when a Civic started at just under $11,000. The Insight had only two seats and three cylinders. Also, it was pitifully slow. The first Toyota Prius, which arrived seven months later, was the same price. But even a real back seat couldn’t move the first Prius beyond Larry David and other greenie devot…

And here again, the money can be applied to the purchase price or used as a down payment, rather than lowering your income-tax bill come April 15.

Vinyl wraps are a quick and relatively inexpensive method to recolor an entire car or apply custom graphics. They can be used for protection as well—as in the example above, where we added an inconspicuous protective film to the nose of our long-term Porsche Boxster S.
