The Eco-Assist Dashboard on the new 2010 Honda Insight gives you the same feedback as a video game. The dashboard will display a green crescent when you are using an optimal acceleration/deceleration rate, and blue when you are not. If you perform enough eco-friendly driving actions over time, you will get a tropy that lights up in the dashboard. No joke.

The new hybrid stacks up some other eco-cred as well. It was named one of Kelley Blue Book’s Top 10 green cars of 2009, and it gets nearly the same mpg on both highway and city driving. 40 for highway, 43 for city.
