Wait, Honda only sold 18,000 of the first generation Insight and now they think they can sell 200,000?

The original Insight only had room for two people! So despite its amazing EPA rated 52 mpg combined average, it remained a niche vehicle, and due to its high cost to produce, Honda restricted its production volume significantly and kept the price relatively high as well. Contrast that with the new Insight which can accommodate five people, is built with mass-production in mind, and has a price tag that is speculated to come in as low as $18,500.
