Honda will reveal a concept version of its new global hybrid vehicle along with the official name, Honda Insight, at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. The new dedicated hybrid will be exhibited along with the Honda FCX Clarity hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and Honda CR-Z sports hybrid concept model, demonstrating Honda's ongoing commitment to the development of cleaner powertrains.Honda has always intended Hybrid vehicles to be a bridge to a hydrogen powered future, the potential of which has already been demonstrated by the FCX Clarity. The Honda Insight Concept has clear stylistic links to the world's first production fuel cell car, with both vehicles' forms shaped to maximise the efficiency of their respective drivetrains.The Honda Insight Concept is the stylistic inspiration for the production version which will go on sale in 2009. From this unique position in the marketplace, Honda Insight will open hybrid technology to a new generation of customers.The Honda Insight will benefit from a significant cost reduction in Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) components resulting in the most affordable hybrid vehicle to date. This dedicated hybrid vehicle will be offered as a 5-door hatchback with seating for five passengers and built on a newly developed platform. Engineers have mounted the compact control unit and battery beneath the boot space to give the Honda Insight both a low centre of gravity and the practicality of a conventionally powered hatchback.Honda Insight will utilise various technologies, including a function to assist more fuel efficient driving giving customers a further improvement in real world fuel consumption. Along with the Honda Civic Hybrid, the new vehicle will be produced at Honda's Suzuka factory in Japan which recently has expanded hybrid motor production line."The original Honda Insight launched in 1999 was the pioneer of hybrid technology in Europe and remains an iconic symbol of Honda's environmental innovation," said Takeo Fukui, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. CEO. "This new Honda Insight will also break new ground by providing an affordable hybrid to an expanded number of customers craving great fuel economy and great value."The Honda Insight Concept is the culmination of two decades of hybrid petrol electric hybrid research and development. The Honda Insight production vehicle will go on sale in Europe, Japan and North America during the first half of 2009.

there's a 3door version of it

Honda completely lost the meaning of the Insight. It's a three door! The Civic is supposed to be the more family oriented four-door. It's a disgrace that they used the Insight name for that car. I am completely disappointed!
