Yeah, I interpret their comment the same as you. They could have been referring to previous model years within the same generation (gen II), or they could just be uninformed about the gen I.

The Insight was the first hybrid I was aware of, but I had no interest in it due to it being a 2-seater. That, and I was a poor high schooler, so I had no chance to buy it. I drove a '69 Beetle back in those days. I could fill the gas tank, pay with $10, and get change back. I could fill the motorcycle, pay with $5, and get change back. The Dodge van was expensive, requiring a $20 bill, but I got change back on that too.
