本田Insight

????一年前，本田公司（Honda）推出了一款不算太貴的Insight轎車，旨在推動2011年的汽車市場銷量，這款轎車也是市場上最便宜的混合動力轎車。評測者們卻報怨它減震差、噪音大，不過消費者們卻很少注意到這兩點。由于今年本田的生產出現中斷，因此很難拿今年的銷量與去年做一個公允的對比。不過在2009年和2010年，本田Insight的銷量都穩定在20,000輛左右，今年卻出現了明顯的下降。與此同時，它也被混動車族的后起之秀——現代索納塔（Hyundai Sonata）超越。

Honda Insight

????One year ago, Honda introduced a less-expensive Insight for 2011 to help boost sales, making it the least expensive hybrid on the market. But reviewers complained about a jouncy ride and excessive road noise, while customers barely noticed. Year-over-year comparisons are difficult because of Honda's production disruptions, but sales, after steadying around 20,000 in 2009 and 2010, dropped off sharply this year. Meanwhile the Insight was passed by the Johnny-come-lately of hybrids, the Hyundai Sonata.
