Honda to keep Insight, no CR-V hybrid expected

Someone better slap Honda in the face and tell them to wake up. The company says it will not abandon the hybrid Insight even though only 5, yes 5, were sold in the month of November. Just 575 were sold for the entire year through November. The Prius racked up over 47,000 in that time frame and probably could have sold more if production had been adequate to meet demand. Then the quoted Honda exec says there’s no plan for a small SUV hybrid. What? Excuse me? I would think a hybrid version of the CR-V would be a huge seller. But what do I know.
