Unfortunately that design direction has been deferred by the more popular SUV box design language of the time. Now your project & efforts have peaked everyone's attention & interest. Everyone's contribution has been helpful in finding the 3dmax files of the Insight model.
Please don't ask for accurate 'cutting' models or templates because this should only be used for an inspiration or aesthetic concept. I've taken a basic 3D model & applied different peoples' ideas for discussions' sake.
The sample has a grafted 'tail' blending into the body line before the bumper & rear light parting lines. It is more integrated & cleaner.
