They found the lightest weight, aluminum body, stock vehicle and stuffed in a reasonable, high-power engine. Their only alternative would be to find a 'kit car' with a reasonable body and though they exist, they are not stock like the Insight. By using the Insight body, they simply avoided the pain and agony of dealing with 'kit cars' that are more like a 'pig in a poke' than serious offerings.
Perhaps some of our recent Insight owners might contact them to see if the left-over, Insight parts are still available. It is a lot easier to rebuild a spare Insight engine and battery system than to deal with one already in the car.
