i knew hybrids would fail in Canada in general.



we have snow
we have mountains and steep hills
we have long stretches of highways
we are big and heavy
we like to carry tools in our trunk for no god dam reason

we have the greatest back door in the world, and no hybrid is going to be able to carry our canoes, kayaks, trailers, a team worth of hockey equipment, mountain bikes, etc.

we need cars that have torque to get to those fun places, and roomy cars for those long trips to a beautiful camping lake.


this is just for Canada in general, not just vancouver.


fun/track cars are an exception.

Not cancelled, just not ordering more for now:

Remember the report from Quebec that suggested Honda Canada would be discontinuing the Insight and Civic hybrid for the 2011 model year due to poor sales? According to company spokesman Richard Jacobs, the two hybrids have not in fact been discontinued. Instead, Jacobs tells us that Canadian dealers currently have a six month supply of the Insight and Civic so it hasn't ordered any new cars from the factories in Japan.

"Honda Canada will listen to the voice of our customers and will bring the products they want," says Jacobs. Both hybrids will remain available and Honda will be monitoring inventories and customer demand to determine when to order more units. Perhaps the launch of the CR-Z will get customers to reconsider its siblings as well.

Though Vancouver gas is the most expensive in Canada, it is still very affordable. There's really no incentive to go hybrid. The fact that it takes years to recover the initial cost (and we'r not even considering inflation) is not appealing at all
