For January 2019, Honda reported sales of 1,762 Insights. Toyota sold 1,864 Priuses, not counting Prius Prime, since it's all-electric. So the headline this month is that Insight achieved a virtual 1:1 ratio against the Prius, representing a continued closing of the gap.
In December 2018 it was a 2:3 Insight
rius ratio, and in November 2018 it was a 1:2 ratio. This is a pretty dramatic, fast shift. Insight could outsell Prius in February!
January Insight sales were down ~30% by units compared to December's numbers. Overall Honda car sales (not trucks) were down by 21% over the same time period. This appears to be consistent with standard seasonal variation.
Also interesting: Clarity continues to outsell Prius Prime. January 2019 Clarity sales were 1,271, while Prius Prime sales were 1,123.
