Top 10 Hybrids that Failed
2010-2012 Honda Insight: The first Insight, a minuscule two-seater car produced from 1999 to 2006, was the first mass-produced, hybrid-powered vehicle sold in Canada, followed closely by the Toyota Prius. The second-generation, five-door Insight, launched for the 2010 model year, was more practical with room for five and a combined fuel economy rating of 5.7 L/100 km. However, its combined output of 98 horsepower, the work of its eight-valve 1.3L four and its electric motor, wasn’t very convincing. However, the dealbreaker likely was its offbeat styling. It didn’t last long.
