Of course it's another Honda whose form this prototype seems to be emulating, and that's the Insight. It'll be interesting to see if Hyundai can succeed where the Insight failed, and take the fight to the Prius. Expect to see it emerge sometime in the second half of next year.

IMHO the main reason why the 2nd gen Insight sales slumped was its poor EPA rating, which is way too easy to beat with a wide margin. Seems like Honda has been overly honest, and paid the bitter price.
