That Insight has the green seats.

It seems to me that many automotive journalists and enthusiasts at least respect the Insight for what it is. It may not be fast or stick to the road through corners, but it'll do an amazing job doing what it was built to do, get great mileage. Add in that its rare and doesn't feel like you're driving an appliance like the Prius, and you have something that should make most car guys at least say "neat". The second gen, rightfully, doesn't get the same respect.
