Poor Sales for Some Honda Models Means Great Deals
Bad news for Honda could mean great news for Honda car buyers.
Honda's new CR-Z, Accord Crosstour and Insight models are underperforming in a big way - which means some great deals could be had on these models.
The Insight hybrid is falling 40,000 units short of estimates, and is being outsold 8-to-1 by its Toyota Prius rival.
Honda has only managed to sell 19,325 units through November - the company originally targeted sales of 60,000 to 80,000.
Likewise, Honda has sold nearly 20,000 fewer Crosstour models than its biggest competitor - the Toyota Venza, selling just 25,927 units compared to the Toyota's 43,325.
Plus, early sales for Honda's new CR-Z hybrid coupe aren't encouraging.
Honda had intended to sell 15,000 of the two-seat hybrids per year, but so far has sold only 4,373, with 3,000 currently sitting in inventory.
On the bright side for Honda, the 2011 Odyssey is performing well against the minivan segment that has heated up with a range of new competitors.
