I'd agree with that. Prius is a great car too, but for someone who likes to actually drive a car, the old Insights are actually great fun.
1800 pounds or so, 2 seater, very... raw driving experience, kind of like a nicer handling, lighter 240D IMO. And obviously very economical.
They didn't sell that well because Americans tend to want at least a 4 seater... Toyota was smart in that they kept the "Camry" philosophy with the Prius, in that it's a practical car with a lot of cargo room and a softer ride.
