I ordered an Insight and knew more than the dealership about the "new" model. My salesman, from whom I bought my Civic Hybrid in 2006, says I am the first to order one from big Berlin City Honda in NH. He said it should arrive in May, perhaps late April, and my request for a dark red EX with Navi evoked more questions than answers. He thinks it may be the color of the Accord, tango red, and pricing is still unknown. He has no fliers or information for customers yet. I hope he doesn't try to up the price, and may give me a better deal as a third-time buyer. The Insight may mean a loss of mpg over my Civic, but up here on NY state's northernmost border, the long unforgiving winter drags mpg into the mid-30's. The Insight will be a techie upgrade, but I hope it doesn't disappoint with a cheap ride compared to my relatively luxury-sized Civic. My daughter in NC is eager to buy our Civic, and the 7yr/120K warranty will pass to her with it. I was surprised that the SC dealer is expecting Insights in March, whereas the Honda dealer in Albemarle, NC told me they wouldn't get them until at least September. |

Replying to: moondog6 (Mar 01, 2009 8:17 am) Here are the exterior colors Honda lists for the North American Insights: Clear Sky Blue (new and exclusive to the Insight) Spectrum While Pearl (also a Civic hybrid color) Alabaster Silver Metallic (also an Accord and Civic color) Polished Metal Metallic (also an Accord and Civic color) Crystal Black Pearl (also an Accord, Civic, and Fit color) Atomic Blue Metallic (also a Civic and Element color) Tango Red Pearl (also a Civic color) The Clear Sky Blue is a very light/bright blue. I expect the LX to be $19,995 and the EX to be $21,995.

Rookie60 has done his homework, his list of colors is spot on. Rookie, where did you get your US prices if I may ask? I assume the $21,995 for the EX is w/o Navi? Also, to add something new (and maybe even true??), I was told Honda originally would not sell the Insight until the roll-out date of Earth Day, 4/22 BUT that they have changed their mind and dealers may sell them as soon as they arrive which could be late March thru April and early May. I believe this change, if true, can be attributed to the economy and the need for dealers (and Honda) to sell some vehicles as soon as possible.

Replying to: lucien4 (Mar 01, 2009 8:59 am) I will be calling the dealer about the ETA and the rollout date this week. I would be surprised if they brought up a "market adjustment" markup, knowing it might kill the deal. His sales were off 50% this past month, but of course they're expecting a big bump in sales in another few weeks. ha ha. |

Replying to: rookie60 (Mar 01, 2009 8:42 am) ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////- /////////////////////////// Although these figures are about $1K more than originally anticipated, I believe you very, very close. The yen-USD exchange rate will almost prohibit lower MSRP than the numbers above. That said, Honda will try to hit these numbers including destination charges so the advertised MSRP may end up around $19.3K and $21.3K. The EX w/navi should be about $23K plus a $700 destination charge. |
