Honda Insight tops Toyota Prius in car sales in Japan – for a month

Continued

But alas, the Insight fell back down to earth a month later when Toyota released the redesigned Prius in Japan, selling 10,915 units.

As for the Honda Insight, it fell down two places to the Prius and to one of its own cars, the Honda Fit. Despite this short reign, the Insight still has a bragging rights over the Prius when, as was mentioned, it became the first hybrid car to ever monthly sales in Japan.

Either way, the impressive showing by both the Insight and the Prius in sales shows that more and more consumers are shifting to hybrid cars as opposed to non-hybrid vehicles and its only a matter of time before the Insight and the Prius – and all other hybrid cars, for that matter – become regular residents on the top spots of monthly sales charts.
