本田Insight

    一年前，本田公司（Honda）推出了一款不算太贵的Insight轿车，旨在推动2011年的汽车市场销量，这款轿车也是市场上最便宜的混合动力轿车。评测者们却报怨它减震差、噪音大，不过消费者们却很少注意到这两点。由于今年本田的生产出现中断，因此很难拿今年的销量与去年做一个公允的对比。不过在2009年和2010年，本田Insight的销量都稳定在20,000辆左右，今年却出现了明显的下降。与此同时，它也被混动车族的后起之秀——现代索纳塔（Hyundai Sonata）超越。

Honda Insight

    One year ago, Honda introduced a less-expensive Insight for 2011 to help boost sales, making it the least expensive hybrid on the market. But reviewers complained about a jouncy ride and excessive road noise, while customers barely noticed. Year-over-year comparisons are difficult because of Honda's production disruptions, but sales, after steadying around 20,000 in 2009 and 2010, dropped off sharply this year. Meanwhile the Insight was passed by the Johnny-come-lately of hybrids, the Hyundai Sonata.
