Default Honda Insight coming back as cheap $18,500 hybrid?

What I don't get is how do car manufacturers intend to sell future cars? I don't know if anyone heard but there are no more leases for cars now (Fleeces would be a better word since they are a rup off, but thats another thread). The big 3 have given up leasing due to its money losing potential.

So this brings me to my point, if my car were not on lease originally (I have since bought it out, but thats another story), I really don't think you could have talked me into $1000 a month payments, or made me pay cash. I only bought it because I was stupid and only looking at the monthly payment (about $430 with all my deals I got and my logic was to keep one car constantly that always had a warranty, but since you have nothing to show for it in the end....), before I wisened up and simply bought it.

Do people honestly think the consumer is going to start dropping $20K to $40K every time they want a new car? I doubt it. Honda may be on the right track here. This is why I posted this.

2010 Honda Insight to list from below $18,500

Despite the popular belief that the Toyota Prius was the first hybrid vehicle sold in the Unites States, the Honda Insight actually holds that title. The Insight was never a sales success, and was eventually discontinued. This time around, Honda is convinced it will have a winner on its hands, and thanks to some new pricing information, we feel the same way.

Priced below the Honda Civic, this Japanese-built hybrid will carry over much of the hatchback styling from the FCX....
