OK, then the trying to accelerate without assist example may not hold for the 2nd gen Insight. (I've never ridden in one.)
There's another reason to want power (or at least a good power/weight ratio) in many parts of the US that you might not see in the Netherlands. We have mountains. Takes a good bit more power to climb them than to cruise on level ground, especially if you don't want to obstruct traffic. The Insight is just barely adequate: even a stiff headwind is enough to push it over the edge.
