Honda Insight Expected to Top Japan Auto Sales
Already being billed as the cheapest and logical car to own, this early the Honda Insight is being billed as the top car in Japan once it hits the streets. It ranked as the top-selling vehicle in Japan for April, the first time a hybrid has clinched that spot.
Honda Motor Co. has pitched the Insight as an affordable hybrid though such vehicles have a bigger price tag than gasoline engine cars because they’re packed with expensive green technology.
The Insight starts at 1.89 million yen ($19,000) in Japan, where it went on sale in February, and $19,800 in the U.S., where it is starting to arrive in showrooms.
Honda sold 10,481 Insight cars in April in Japan, according to data released Monday by the Japan Automobile Dealers Association.
