Car manufacturing giant Honda launched its Insight hybrid at the North American International Auto Show that was held in Detroit. The launching ceremony was not a pompous show; rather it was a quiet event. The principal target of the company is to make the cost effective hybrid technology popular among the car lovers around the world. Through its 2010 Honda Insight, the company wants the hybrid technology lovers to get access to the car and make the best use of its cost effectiveness.



The Insight hybrid technology that was introduced in the show boasts of an EPA rated 40- mpg in the city as well as 43 mpg on the highway. Though the launching of the 2010 Honda Insight remained a low-key affair, as there was no extensive press conference, it does not undermine its significance in the Honda's line up. 2010 Honda Insight has already scored independent and real world highway fuel-economy tests that went above 60 miles per gallon.

The 2010 Honda Insight would be put to sale on the Earth Day: 2009 that falls on April 22. Earlier this year, the popular car company had exhibited the Insight hybrid at the Paris Motor Show also. However, the car unveiled at the exhibition was ?raw? and it only sought to display the pre-production concept.

The 2010 Insight is a 5-door car and it gives a new lease of life to the hybrid efforts of Honda. Honda has offered cars with hybrid technology prior to it but the Insight version is distinct from its past versions. It would be built on a dedicated and exclusively hybrid platform. Next in the line is sporty 2-seater CR-Z. The company hopes that the new car would sale in comparatively high number.

According to Honda sources, it is expected that the company would sale 200,000 units of 2010 Insight per year globally. The company expects to sale about 100,000 units only in North America. The new vehicle would be manufactured, along with Civic Hybrid, at an elaborated hybrid vehicle assembly line at Suzuka factory located in Japan.

Takeo Fukui, the Honda CEO, told that the original Honda Insight served as a pioneer in the hybrid technology in United States. He further told that the 2010 Insight brand remains a symbol of Honda's dedication to inventive technology as well as fuel efficiency. He added that the new Insight would achieve ground-breaking records as a low-priced hybrid car within the reach of the car lovers who are inspired by great value for money and high fuel economy.
