No, the two are very similar, IMO:

Code:
Insight:
Length  	3945 mm (155 1/8")
Height (excluding antenna) 	1355 mm (53 1/3")
Width     1695 mm (66 3/4")
Frontal Area:  20ft^2
CdA:  5.00ft^2

EV1:
Length  	169.7 in.  	4,309 mm
Width 	69.5 in. 	1,766 mm
Height 	50.5 in. 	1,281 mm
Frontal Area:  21ft^2
CdA:  3.96ft^2
Neil, did you use the dimensions on the drawing I clipped from YouTube to establish the scale for the EV1? They appear to be correct, except that track width's label is one tire too wide. Track is correctly measured from wheel center to wheel center.
