Honda Insight Hybrid
Honda Insight
There was an article on detnews.com about Honda’s new hybrid that will be a direct competitor of the Toyota Prius. The new Honda Insight was the first hybrid sold in the United States. It was a two-seater and not very popular selling only about 4700 in 2001 in its’ peak year. The Toyota Prius just sold over 180,000 in the United States last year. Honda will be targeting sales of 200,000 Insights with half being sold in the United States.
The Insight looks alot like the Prius. It was been redesigned and now is a five-seater vehicle. This is much more appealing to people and should help sales. Another big selling point of this fuel-efficient car will be the cost. It will cost about $19,000, which is several thousand dollars less than the Prius or the Honda Civic hybrid. The Honda Insight should be coming out next April. Check it out!
