2010 Honda Insight - Click above for high-res image gallery
Honda's new Insight may be falling short of sales expectations so far here in the U.S., but apparently it's doing OK thus far in Europe. Honda of Europe is reporting that, during its first full month on sale in May, the Insight was the best selling hybrid vehicle on the continent. Unfortunately, hybrids still haven't achieved the sales volumes in Europe that they get elsewhere. Honda has not said precisely how many Insights were sold, but Toyota only sold 1,372 Priuses in May. The Prius is, of course, in the middle of a model changeover, so the numbers aren't necessarily representative. Over the next several months as both cars become readily available at dealers, the relative sales picture may change.
Elsewhere in the Honda hybrid lineup, the Civic hybrid took third place in the sales race and Honda again promised to bring the production CR-Z as well as a Jazz (Fit) hybrid to market.
