At best it's a leap sideways. It's not a bad idea for them to have an entry in the 4-seat hybrid class, but by giving it the Insight name they alienated a lot of original Insight owners, most of whom were hoping for an improved version.

They're also neglecting the (potentially large) market segment composed of people who have no need for a back seat, and maybe just need a little marketing (and another gas price increase :-)) to recognize the fact.
