Toyota Prius dethrones Honda Insight

Posted by Hootan Mahallati | June 08, 2009 | In green honda news toyota

Last month, we brought you the news that the new Honda Insight had claimed the title of best-selling car in Japan, the first time ever that such an honor had gone to a hybrid car. We were curious what would happen when Toyota announced its third-gen Prius, which is a bit more efficient and slightly more expensive.

Well, the Prius has knocked the Insight off its perch for the month of May. In fact, the Insight fell to number 3, below Honda's own Fit.

Aahh....the battle of silent, wheezing electric cars...almost as exciting as a Sunday drag race.
