Honda has already locked down 7,000 orders for its CR-Z hybrid sports car, more than half of the car’s annual sales target of 12,000 units. Still, Honda should be cautiously optimistic as last year sales of the new Insight model started out strong but started to dwindle once Toyota released its third-generation Prius – a [...] more]]> http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2010/03/report-honda-cr-z-orders-reach-7000-in-japan-half-of-yearly-sales-goal.html/feed

According to AutoExpress, the automotive journalists equivalent to the National Enquirer, Honda is planning a CR-Z Type R model.

When Honda announced it would show a next-generation Odyssey minivan concept at the Chicago Auto Show, we assumed it would be one of the wild and wacky concepts that automaker debuted at the Tokyo Auto show last year.

Honda is expecting that its new Insight hybrid won’t meet its sales target because it’s to small. That, at least, is the opinion of Honda Executive Vice President Koichi Kondo, who told Bloomberg, “I think we compromised too much on size in pursuing fuel efficiency.” Honda had expected to sell as many as 200,000 units during [...] more]]> http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2010/02/report-honda-insight-sales-struggling-because-its-too-small-says-exec.html/feed
