Honda will end production of the very first hybrid vehicle sold in the U.S., the Insight, due to poor sales and increasing competition.
Yuka Abe, a Honda spokesman based in Tokyo, told Bloomberg that dealers were notified last November. They were also told not to take any more orders for the Insight.
This is the second time Honda kills the Insight. Production of the first generation ended in 2006, and the second generation was launched in 2009.
