Japan: Honda sells 10,000 Insights in 10 days
 

Exciting news, according to insightman.com:

"In just the brief 10 days since the new Insight went on sale in Japan, Honda has taken orders for more than 10,000 Insights. This number is double the anticipated monthly sales in the Insight's home country. Clearly there was some pent-up demand left unsatisfied by other hybrids sold in Japan. This number dwarfs the approximately 2,000 Insights Honda sold in Japan throughout the Classic's 7 year production run."

Are you thinking of trading in the smart for a Insight? Any talk about the Smart diesel being imported to the US yet.:) Hal

Yes, I will be selling the smart when the Insight II arrives. I love hybrids, and have always been disappointed by the smart's poor gas efficiency. Still, the smart is a fun car to drive, but I really need one more seat fairly frequently. Can't wait to get back to Honda. I formerly had an Insight I – loved its efficiency but disliked its drivability, lack of creature comforts, and a few quirks.
