The Insight is a 1 part. The bodywork only pushes out to clear the rear track and integrate the bumper. The rest of it is, as many say, a "blob".

When building a 2 part body, make sure you radius everything generously. Look at the (~10cm?) radii on the Tatra, and note how the entire Saab body side is curved. You don't want sharp edges except to detach flow at the rear of the vehicle (see DS, EV1, Volt).
