2003 Honda Insight
Honda can take honors for being the first automobile manufacturer to
put an electric/gasoline hybrid car on the road in the United States.
This was the Insight. For 2003, the Insight remains just as environmental
as it is sleek and sporty. The 2003 Honda Insight falls into the sub-compact
vehicle category with more than one 2-door hatchback trim to choose from.
Take a look, and we think you will agree that the Insight makes a definite
statement.
