Cumulatively, Honda has sold 85,000 Insights across all model years. With results like that, it's hard to blame them for trying something different.

I didn't know they sold as well as they did. Still, the average Joe still thinks of Prius when you say hybrid. I honestly expected the normal-bodied hybrids to be the biggest growth market for hybrids, and while I guess they've been steady, it's still not stunning. We'll see. Maybe there's hope for the Insight.
