Honda killed the Accord hybrid and original Insight due to lack of sales. Their focus group testing indicated (especially with the Accord) that people wanted a Hybrid for the poseur factor. Hence the restyle as a Prius knockoff.

Just don't tell the stupid pompous Prius owners (am I being redundant?) that a measurable amount of its efficiency comes from aerodynamics and extremely low rolling resistance.
