The base price of the new Honda Insight will come in just under $20,000 at $19,800.
The model is aimed directly at the popular Toyota Prius. With a competitive price and advanced fuel efficiency, Honda Motor Co. thinks they may have created a “Prius killer.”
The Prius carries a base sticker price of $22,000. It looks as if Honda has decided to look for the value-oriented shoppers who are obviously concerned with both gas prices and total cost of ownership.
The Honda Insight is also $4,000 less than the popular Honda Civic. Honda plans on making hybrids an attractive alternative to even its own popular car lines. With several new lines coming in the hybrid lineups, this could be the year the hybrid vehicle comes of age.
The 2010 Toyota Prius will offer 50mpg combined gas mileage and will be available on US car lots in June.
The war of hybrids is on in earnest.
