Honda said that demand for hybrid vehicle Insight is soaring in Japan with orders topping its monthly target of 5,000 in just over a week.The launch of the cheapest hybrid vehicle came amid a devastating slump in the global car market.
But Honda said demand for the Insight has been so brisk that the company has received more than 5,000 orders, easily beating its monthly target.
"This is so much better than expected.
Even before the launch, Honda had received about 5,000 orders for the Insight, Asanuma said. The Insight goes on sale in April in the US, and in March for Europe.
Honda's Insight is cheaper than Toyota's Prius, the most popular hybrid.
Hybrids tend to be more expensive than regular cars because they come packed with both a petrol engine and an electric motor. Switching between the systems, depending on speed, boosts mileage.
We are taking orders for the new Insight coming April 22 2009
