The big news: Insight is up over a thousand percent!! They sold 60 Insights in November 2005 versus just 5 in November 2004. In other news, they already are beating last year's Civic Hybrid numbers even with limited availability. 2083 sold Nov 05 versus 1867 for Nov 04. Year to date is still roughly a wash due to the fact there were hardly any hybrids shipped for two months this year. 23336 for 05 verus 23473 by this time in 04. The Accord Hybrid continues to disapoint with just 837 sold this month bringing the total to 16,106 for the year. In spite of a special factory to dealer incentive on the HAH, there's no way they're hitting the sales target of 20,000 by the end of the year.

Overall it was a good month for Honda. Accord sales are down a little bit this month and for the year in general but the Civic is up 18% for the month and roughly equal over last year. Company wide, sales were 6.4% higher than last year and they're 6.2% ahead year to date as well. Full details at the link below:
