In October, the Prius was Japan's number one best-seller for the sixth consecutive month. Toyota's third-generation model put 26,918 units on the board, while the Insight was down in ninth place with 7074 units.

Its not an American vs Japanese thing. Toyota just builds a better car than Honda and the Prius still dominates the Insight by a very wide margin even in Japan. Insight sales in the US are even worse. Honda really need to reassess their hybrid strategy.
Back on topic.
This news about Aptera makes me sad. I was really hoping they would shake up the auto industry in this country. I hope they can get their act together.
