I looked at an Insight when we bought our second Prius. I was pretty excited about it because the Insight is built on the Fit platform so lots of Fit performance parts should swap. (That is a big downside to the Prius - an almost complete lack of parts to improve the suspension)
On test drive in the Insight was enough. I lived in Alabama at the time and my commute started and finished with 5 miles of stop and go that took 30 - 40 minutes. No way I was going without A/C in the summer and turning off stop / start defeated the purpose of buying a hybrid.
An Insight body with the Prius hybrid drive would have been perfect. Honda has pretty much done that today with their excellent two-motor hybrids.
