yeah, the original insight reminds me of the pedal powered speed
record competitors with its ultraaerodynamics. the new one is more of
a junior civic hybrid.

The original 2-seater Insight had that same look, and it predated the
Prius.

I guess you and I have very different ideas of what constitutes looking
'alike'. I've seen the Insight in a showroom, I've seen photos, and
there's one I often see on my drive to work. It has never occurred to
me that it looks anything like a Prius. Or the new Insight.

Absolutely agreed.

The original Insight looked, to me, nothing like the '04 Prius or the new
Insight.
