Hi,
Just ordered a 06 HCH w/nav yesterday. The dealer initially told me about 4-6 weeks. After pushing him a little he really means that Honda plans on MAKING it in 4-6 weeks. So I should actually get it somewhere near the end of June.

I bought a 350Z last May that I'm going to sell. I love it but I need to spend more time on the road than I used to and the Z's 16 MPG just won't cut it. Also, I'm afriad that gas will get to $4-5 killing it's resale value before very long.

I figure if I'm going to sell a car that I would prefer to legally adopt then I'll get a car that makes it worth while for the mileage. I suspect it will change my driving technique, lol.

I looked at the Prius but didn't like it as much as the Civic and for another 2 MPG it's a little too much of a compromise for me. By "looked" I mean read about them because I wasn't able to find either one to even sit in.

Welcome PeakOil!
I waited 6+ months for my Honda Insight. The dealer told me 3, but it ended up being a lot longer. Well worth the wait, imo. Actually it came 1-2 weeks sooner than American Honda told me (since I called them to check the status......). In the 6 months that I waited for my Insight I saw 3- one on the NJ Turnpike, one on rt. 202 in PA, and one the week before I got mine at a parking lot. There was barely any way to see one in real life, let alone test drive it. I love it though and learned alot from message boards prior to my car arriving. I also drive differently in the Insight, when you have a computer infront of your face in the car, you will pay attention.


Good Luck!

Yes, welcome! Bummer that you have to wait so long, but mileage vs. 16 mpg is worth the wait. You'll really like the car....
