I've been looking forward to that for over a decade now.
That, and some video of the car making a complete turn so we can see the front skirts open up.
( Just have someone drive the car in a circle around you while you video it. )

Probably not until late summer at soonest. The skirts as they are will likely be replaced by then. Right now they make an incredible clatter - the conveyer belt rollers they ride on work very well, but the don't have bearings and could wake the dead. I might try something like roller blade wheels.
I can say, it's wild driving Aerocivic through a rainstorm. Only the windshield gets wet. As Basjoos said, everything goes up and over the car. My Insight is the same, except the for the turbulent area where the license plate / vertical back glass is. The hatch glass facing the sky remains dry in all but the heaviest downpours.
My partner is a huge fan of the car, and can probably arrange for her to record a video of highway travel.
The big holdup is my rushing to finish restoring my 2nd Insight, and my house. Both are nearing completion but still have some needs.
