2009 Honda Insight Hybrid Production Pics
The 2009 Honda Insight Hybrid Concept made its world debut at the 2008 Paris Motor Show in October. The vehicle will be making a different kind of debut next year at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit - the production debut. Although Honda will still be presenting the production version of the 2009 Honda Insight, it will be a scaled back debut due to the rough economic times. Just yesterday, sales figures for November 2008 were posted and American Honda posted a 31.6% decrease in sales when compared to November 2007.
Hopefully the Insight will help Honda’s sales increase once it becomes available in the spring of 2009.
“The Insight is expected to have annual global sales of 200,000 units per year - approximately 100,000 in North America - and will utilize a new interactive, driver-focused fuel economy enhancement technology named the Ecological Drive Assist System (Eco Assistâ„¢).” (Source: Honda Media Newsroom)
In anticipation of the reveal, Honda has just released images of the official 2009 Honda Insight full-production vehicle. The car is priced aggressively at $18,500 and is going after the dominant Toyota Prius.
