Silver 2006 Gen 1 Insight with a M/T. I found the listing on Craigslist and it looks like a very nice car. I have not seen it for myself but if anyone does see it please be sure to make a note of the condition. Seems like a good deal since the 2006 M/T are so rare anyways.
Sales of the G1 Insight declined every year. Then, in 2006, once it was announced that 2006 would be the final year, a lot of sales came from people who realized that this was their last chance to buy a new one. There were even some G1 owners who purchased a second one in 2006.
Totals are just shy of 14k produced in the US and Canada. Guess another 2-3k produced worldwide. According to the above there were half as many 2004 models as the 2003 models. Rarest of the rare? 1999 with 17 produced but for all practical purposes it was the 2004 model. Who has ever heard of a 1999 honda insight?
Not only did I see one in real life I also got to drive it for 120 miles (Chrysler bought one that they imported from Japan). At the time I didn't like it because of the RHD and the engine kept shutting off when I stopped....funny huh? And the next week I drove a Prius RHD also. I worked in Advanced Vehicle Engineering so that is why they had the vehicles so early on.
