OK, what I meant was that it's copying the BEHAVIOR of the Toyota system: it's an automatic and has the inefficient electric-only mode.
As for why Honda doesn't sell more, I think that has more to do with the fact that they didn't manage to create a dedicated image brand like the Prius. Even the other day, my neighbor was asking me how my "Prius" was holding up. (It's a 1st-gen Insight, which I've only had for about 8 years now.)
