From autos.ca.msn This is the first official image of the production model Honda Insight that will be debuting in Detroit early next year. Unlike the original Insight – that quirky, two-seater fastback – the second-generation car focuses on excellent fuel economy without sacrificing affordability. The five-seater hatchback is expected to be the cheapest hybrid on the market with a starting price of less than US$20,000.The second-gen Insight is similar in appearance to the caras concepts, with the exception of its bumper, grille and wheels.

Automakers focus on driving down price of hybrids
From autos.ca.msn VANCOUVER, B.C. – When Honda’s new Insight goes on sale next Wednesday – Earth Day – it will be the least expensive hybrid car available in Canada. With a starting price of $23,900 before taxes and delivery charges, the Insight is evidence automakers understand that after a decade of hybrids travelling Canadian roads, they must tackle the pricing issue if hybrids are to expand beyond their market share of roughly two per cent. “There’s no question there’s pressure amongst all manufacturers to bring the price down to a point where there isn’t such a big premium,” says Arch Wilcox, Honda Canada’s vice-president of auto sales. Motorists who want to be on the right side of Mother Earth have been forced to pay for the privilege when it comes to hybrids. Whereas a conventional Honda Civic starts at around $17,000, a Civic hybrid rings in at $27,350. Ford’s new Fusion hybrid sedan is about $32,000, compared with just under $23,800 for a normal four-cylinder version. Buying the hybrid Ford Escape compact SUV will cost you an extra 10 large over the base model. At just under $24,000, the Insight undercuts Toyota’s popular Prius, which it unapologetically resembles, by about $5,000. An upgraded Insight, with options such as a navigation system and other goodies, will be priced at $27,500, still $200 below the asking price for a Prius. Significantly, Insight also underprices Honda’s own Civic hybrid. Wilcox admits it may cannibalize some Civic sales. But it’s part of Honda’s strategy to broaden the market for hybrids and get more into the hands of people who like them but can’t afford them. Wilcox concedes the premium price helped kill the hybrid version of Honda’s popular Accord sedan, which added electric drive to a V-6 motor. “If you look at where the vast majority of hybrid sales are, they’re all in the four-cylinder, three-cylinder area; they’re not in the V-6 area,” he says. “I think it was probably too premature.” Honda FC Sport: fuel cell sports car of the future?
From autos.ca.msn With growing concerns over the environment, will high-performance sports cars go the way of the dodo? Cars such as BMW’s new clean diesel 335d and Tesla’s electric Roadster are current proof that performance and environmental friendliness aren’t mutually exclusive, but what about 10 or 20 years down the road? Honda is a firm believer that there’s a place for an environmentally friendly sports car, and has demonstrated a potential solution with its futuristic hydrogen-powered FC Sport concept, a car that it is on display at the LA Auto Show.”The Honda FC Sport explores how to satisfy automotive performance enthusiasts in a world beyond petroleum,” said Dan Bonawitz, vice-president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “People who love sports cars will still have a reason to love in a hydrogen-powered future.” Affordable pricing for next-gen Honda Insight hybrid
