bigpoppanils Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 after 4 years of production, the Insight is being killed off. Exlcuding 2003, 12,000 Insights have been sold in North Amercia, plus a few hundred in Europe and Japan. Honda has not said why, but my guess is that consumers are favoring the Civic hybrid. Hopefully honda will release a Civic 2 door hybrid. :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeg Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Originally posted by bigpoppanils :cuss: don't worry, i'm sure tony will be selling them on ebay.... i'll tell him to cut you a deal in all seriousness though, i'm not sure what my take on hybrid, or electric cars is... i kinda wanna play with one up close before i judge... but i mean, i wouldn't expect barn-burning torque or anything from it... i'm curious to see what the future brings with hydrogen cars and the like...as far as raw-power... i'm going to have to think the strip and other venues for fast car exibitions will be led by very well tuned combustion engines... however... i think the goal should be to aim for equal power with less fuel weight... ie... compare the weight of 2 "equal" cars fully fueled... liquid is heavy... if they can come up with some good energy storage solutions with lithium ions and the like, they may be able to drop a LOT of weight off a car with equal power... but again, as the power goes up, its harder and harder for the electric cars to compete, i would think...show me a 3100lb electric car capable of making 1000hp on stock internals... *cough* supra *cough* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
