I've seen approximately the same number of CR-Zs as first gen Insights, and honestly they pretty much are the successor. The EPA ratings suck but someone who isn't a lunatic driving the M/T can get 50mpg. They even made a 6 speed manual just for it.
I think the best bang for your buck is a 2nd gen Prius, I doubt a 3rd gen would save you several thousand dollars in fuel over any reasonable period of time. The 2ZR is only <5% more efficient than the 1NZ, and this is on an already fuel efficient car.
