It was Honda's decision not to bring the current Fit Hybrid to the states, and it seems the Insight gets the blame for that.
Both are sold here and I've driven them both, but all I can say is they will appeal to different people. The Insight is slightly more economical than the Fit because of its lower profile and better streamline and despite its slightly higher weight.

Honda did make changes to the rear bench to allow for more space in the back of the Insight, but a 6 footer still cannot sit in the middle. Also it has to be said; the European trim is more expensive, but also quite better. No flimsy armrests or bad seats here. It is so much better than all the other new cars I have looked at (all subcompacts, but they share the price range...)

I would hate to see the Insight go.
The new Fit Hybrid will have better economy than the old Insight, but a new Insight could easily beat that. Maybe Honda will give it a go if the Prius just beats the Fit.

As you can see from my fuel log, the Insights economy is not that bad, I do have my share of short trips, cold and windy weather and all at sea level so max air resistance.
