Having two decades of market presence for certain car model is nothing special. If that model is a hybrid, we are talking about full blown pedigree here.

If somebody told you that being first isn’t all that is, check with Honda Insight’s thoughts about the subject. It only arrived two years after the Prius, while it even arrived on US’s shores half a year before a glorified Toyota, and yet it stayed in its shadow forever.

The second generation even ditched overly futuristic styling approach and opt for Prius’s recipe, which is still far from usual, but it turned out to no avail. Best annual sales figure that Insight reached was in the realm of 20,000, while Prius adds another zero there and a little bit more.
