2010 Honda Insight: Production Ready [2010 Honda Insight]

The 2010 Honda Insight has been revealed in production form today with only a few differences like normal tires and the front fascia losing some of the high-cost chrome the Insight was sporting in concept mode. Honda's new Prius-killer is expected to retail for around $18,500, massively undercutting the $22,000 Toyota Prius. Expect full details at January's Detroit Auto Show even if Honda won't be unveiling it at an actual press conference. The press release and a high-res picture follow the jump.

12/03/2008 - TORRANCE, Calif. -

The all-new 2009 Honda Insight hybrid will make its world debut in January at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The five-passenger, five-door Insight will go on sale in the spring of 2009.

The Insight is expected to have annual global sales of 200,000 units per year - approximately 100,000 in North America - and will utilize a new interactive, driver-focused fuel economy enhancement technology named the Ecological Drive Assist System (Eco Assist™).

A leader in the development of cleaner, more fuel-efficient mobility products, Honda introduced to market the first mass produced low-emission gasoline vehicles; America's first commercially produced gas-electric hybrid car and the world's first EPA-certified hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle, the FCX. In 2007, Honda was named "greenest automaker" by the Union of Concerned Scientists for the fourth straight time.

I’m not much of a gadget nerd, but on the other hand I’d rather not get too sweaty if I don’t have to. I bought a random orbital buffer from one of the big box stores years ago, and it has worked okay. The other day I got to use Griot’s new professional-grade random orbital. Ah, how the right tool makes any task just a bit easier. (And, yes, that is an Electron Blue Civic Si.)

2009 Honda Insight Hybrid

Take a look at the new photos of the 2009 Honda Insight. The new Honda’s hybrid will make its debut at the Detroit auto show on January 11. The new five passenger, five door Insight hybrid will go on sale on both sides of the Atlantic ocean in the spring of 2009.

The production model’s design has been toned down. Aside from the less sloppy roofline and smoothed out body creases, changes include the down-to-earth headlamps, mirrors and tail lamps, a less aggressively styled front bumper.

2009 Honda Insight Hybrid will be equipped with a new version of the Civic IMA’s mild hybrid powertrain that combines an electric unit with a small petrol engine and a CVT gearbox. The Insight will not be able to run solely on electric power.

The Honda claims that the Insight Hybrid will be the most affordable hybrid, making it accesible to a broader audience. Honda expects to sell around 200,000 units of the Insight per year.
