this car will sell. +looks much better (and useful) than the old 2-door.

I may holdout for the CR-Z. Add some Vector-Foiltec solars and expand the battery a few 100% -and just let it set out in the sun.

Japanese media reported recently that Toyota may continue selling the old Prius even after the remodeled version goes on sale—an unusual move for an automaker—to compete against the cheaper Insight.

Probably not a bad idea. It gives the prospective buyer more choice. Some will go for the less powerful version, others for the new beefed up model.

It'll be a million in a year.

Back in the 60's I bought three S-600 roadsters and one fastback I got 90 miles to the gallon and today they have Classic S -600 clubs in Hawaiia and to own one is to have a car that is worth $23,000, but they are hard to find. I asked Honda to make this model again, but they told me the Insight replaced the S-600.

“If the Insight had gone on sale a half year earlier, it would have been such a sure hot-seller,”

Poor bloke sounds like hes given up before theyve even started. Chin up. Get the FCX clarity released globally and you'll see some cash pour in. Even more so if Honda could persuade some oil companies to install hydrogen tanks in their gas stations.

Wow! I'm impressed. Right on schedule. Honda announced on Dec 10 2006 that they'd sell this vehicle at this time.
