Only 666 Insights for 2005?
With production numbers that small it is hard to believe they are keeping it alive.
Plus, I think it is NOT AT-PZEV so even though EPA gives t 66 MPG it couldn't even qualify for California's carpool lane stickers.

They haven't made any design changes to it in ages, as far as I know, and they don't spend a dime marketing it. So maybe the cost of keeping it going isn't very high.
I saw a bright red new Insight yesterday. Sure caught my eye.

It was a good idea, with poor execution. But it really does get great FE! And to think, whenever you buy one, you're getting a nearly hand-built car for $20k!

The other is that the HCH had an above average sales month in Dec. 2005 despite the delay in shipping the 2006 model.
