I guess so.

The thing is, it's the wrong car for me anyway. A boat-tailed Insight has some limitations: it can't haul, it makes a poor EV (20HP peak, and spins the ICE the whole time), and it's hard to be inconspicuous.

The correct car to address all of those limitations is a PHEV Prius with a trailer hitch. I'd use it when I'm feeling electric, or when I want to haul 800lbs of 4'x8's, or when I want to blend in a little.
