Also from the honda website

Anybody know when they stopped?

A couple of years ago according to http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/honda-insight-and-cr-z-axed-uk (http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/honda-insight-and-cr-z-axed-uk)

Also, that report mentioned the new Jazz as having a 3 cylinder turbo engine, which we have yet to see, which I think would partner nicely with an improved IMA hybrid system.

Honda should have gifted Insights to Hollywood 'A' list stars like Toyota did with the Prius,  which made it cool to own a Prius,  they missed a massive PR coup and have suffered ever since.

The Insight and CR-Z disappeared at the end of last year. The Accord went a few months ago.

For short time Honda only offered the Jazz, Civic and CR-V (all UK-built).
