New Hybrid Car Sales

[MikeCR-Z]

Honda's new Insight hybrid, launched just four months ago, posted a surprising decline, to 2,079 from 2,780 in May - a 25.2 percent drop. In addition to general market conditions, the compact hybrid was hurt a little by the introduction of the new Prius and by fairly high incentives - from $1,000 to $1,600 on the remaining '09 Priuses.
