I'd never be able to address all of your points, but I feel the need to address some of them. Certainly you are entitled to your opinion, and I am entitled to disagree.

Your comments about the Insight in particular bothered me. The Insight was a small 2-seat coupe with oddball styling. Certainly it was an innovative car and incredibly fuel-efficient, but the market for coupes is far too small in America for such a car to be profitable, especially considering that hybrids are still more expensive to build than convential cars powered by unassisted internal combustion. Honda cancelled the Insight because it didn't make sense economically to continue building it. Despite their environmental efforts, Honda exists to make money. That is the point of all businesses.
