   Honda Insight: 3d time's the charm

   Apparently the news embargo is over: Try and Try Again: Honda Finally Nails it With 2019 Insight | TheDetroitBureau.com
   
   

   It was quite literally another century when the first Honda Insight came to the U.S. market. Beating the now familiar Toyota Prius by several months, Honda’s originally hybrid was a quirky little two-seater that, in one configuration, delivered more than 70 miles per gallon.
   
   But its trade-offs were many and, unlike its HEV rival, sales of the original Insight tanked, Honda soon pulling it from the market.
