In Japan, sales of the Insight have already tripped what Honda had originally projected, causing concern among San Francisco Honda dealersthat a similar scenario will also occur here in the U.S. At the moment,Honda is only capable of manufacturing a reported 600 new Insightmodels in a single day at the companys Suzuka plant in Japan.Unfortunately with demand skyrocketing at home and in North American, Gardena Honda dealers believe that plant is at near capacity.The obvious solution to the production strain will be to moveproduction facilities to the U.S. Considering most Insights aredestined for the U.S., Honda Longview Texassays it makes perfect sense that facilities are established closer totheir ultimate destination.

If Hondadoesnt act fast, competition and production limitations could cooldemand for the hot new insight.
