First off, let us all recognize the 2800 pound, leaf-eating pachyderm in the room. Though the 2009 Insight is Honda's latest hybrid, it looks suspiciously like the Toyota Prius. It's not hard to understand why. The Prius has been a massive hit for Toyota in sales and image greenification. It's won car of the year awards in Japan, Europe, and North America, as well as our own COTY award back in 2004. It's the world's number-one-selling hybrid vehicle, but more important is who's bought them. Early adopters included such Hollywood royalty as Cameron Diaz, Leonardo di Caprio, Susan Sarandon, Sting, and Billy Crystal. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what this celebrity buzz did for sales, but you know it had to be mahvelous.

机译：首先，让我们大家都认识到房间里有2800磅食叶的厚皮动物。尽管2009年Insight是本田公司最新推出的混合动力车，但它看起来却与Toyota Prius相似。不难理解为什么。普锐斯（Prius）在销售和图像绿色化方面对丰田汽车造成了巨大冲击。它曾在日本，欧洲和北美获得年度汽车大奖，并在2004年获得了我们自己的COTY大奖。它是全球销量第一的混合动力汽车，但更重要的是谁购买了它们。早期采用者包括卡梅伦·迪亚兹（Cameron Diaz），莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥（Leonardo di Caprio），苏珊·萨兰登（Susan Sarandon），斯汀（Sting）和比利·克里斯特（Billy Crystal）等好莱坞皇室成员。很难确切地知道这位名人嗡嗡声对销售的影响，但是您知道它一定是惊人的。
