Is that Insight front drive or converted to rear wheel drive? It almost looks like the front tires had too much bite and the back end drove around the front.

That Scion pic above is front wheel drive and needed that front wing to keep as much pressure on the tires through turns. If I remember correctly it was having a lot of trouble starting into the turns (under steer?)
