Honda Insight Hybrid to Make World Debut at the North American International Auto Show

TORONTO, Dec. 3 /CNW/ – The all-new Honda Insight hybrid will make its
world debut next month at the North American International Auto Show in
Detroit, followed by its Canadian debut at the Montreal International Auto
Show in mid-January. The five-passenger, five-door Insight is expected to be
the most affordable hybrid car available when it goes on sale in the spring of
2009.
The Insight is expected to have annual global sales of 200,000 units per
year – with 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(TM)) to help drivers achieve
enhanced fuel efficiency.
A leader in the development of cleaner, more fuel-efficient mobility
products, Honda introduced to market the first mass-produced low-emission
gasoline vehicles; North America’s first commercially produced
gasoline-electric hybrid car; and the first hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle – FCX -
to be certified for use on public roads in the U.S.

Honda is committed to offering products with the highest environmental
performance produced at vehicle assembly plants that have reduced
environmental footprints. Honda is a leader in the development of leading-edge
technologies to improve vehicle fuel efficiency and reduction of CO(2)
emissions, including advanced fuel-efficient gasoline engines,
gasoline-electric hybrids and hydrogen fuel cells.
