2010 Honda Insight Concept
Honda gained plenty of insight into the hybrid market with the two-seat Honda Insight in 1999, but few remember that it was the first gasoline-electric hybrid on the American scene. The Toyota Prius went on to steal most of the Insight's thunder, and the Honda Civic Hybrid didn't create the same noise among the environmentally inclined. Hoping to reverse the trend, the upcoming Honda Insight will be very different from its earlier namesake, as shown by this 5-door hatchback concept to be revealed at the Paris auto show. With styling born of the Honda FCX Clarity fuel-cell vehicle, the Honda Insight Concept fairly shouts, "I'm a hybrid." Aggressive pricing, reported to start under $20,000, underscores the eco-aggressive looks and message: Honda wants more of the hybrid market, badly.
