Insight Production Stopped ?
Anyone else catch this ABC news article claiming the Insight will not be produced for '07 ? The reason they gave was it being due to much lower sales figures than expected.

Re: Insight Production Stopped ?
Are you surprised? How many '06 models did Honda sell? Couldn't be more than a dozen It's no more a practical vehicle than is the S2000.

Re: Insight Production Stopped ?
There are too many hybrid vehicles out there to warrent another one that isn't even advertised anymore. I haven't seen a commercial for the insight for years now. Toyota is kicking everyone's a$$, and there's already the Civic and Accord hybrids.
The S2000, like other sports cars, aren't practical. But it is a sports car, and that's it's place. I certainly don't see that going out of production any time soon. |

Re: Insight Production Stopped ?
Holy sh*t, you're right. They're introducing something called the XGA (at least that's the name as of now, but who knows). Here's the concept of it: http://carspyshots.net/zerothread?id=18868 Totally lame...

Re: Insight Production Stopped ?
They already have the fuel cell vehicle. Are you referring to that? Or, did you mean all electric, like a go kart? The term "hybrid" implies that there are two sources.

Re: Insight Production Stopped ?
Very strange. Every source I checked said, "No '07 S2000". We just got a new batch of '07's at the dealership I work at this week! This originally started as a Insight thread...but the S2000 is more exciting. Sorry for the jack.

Re: Insight Production Stopped ?
New 5 seat hybrid Insight is on the way
Somewhere I noticed a title "The Prius killer" (big competitor of Toyota Prius Hybrid) It is gonna be a real beauty... Official representation is next spring (22 of April) There you can find some good information about Japanese car industry (Honda and Toyota): http://www.transportation-logistics....clusive_topics |
