I don't know where they're getting their insurance quotes, but I think they're getting ripped off. Got the renewal notice for mine a few days ago: Insight hybrid and Toyota pickup, $490/year.
Though come to think of it, maybe they're using New York City rates, which from my one experience of passing through should approximate the price of the car. Had to take a bus from airport to train station. Bus driver had to make a left into a parking lot, but there was a garbage truck parked next to the entrance, and he hit the truck about halfway along the side of the bus. No problem, though: he backed the bus up, got a running start, and hit it 5 feet further along. And backed up and did it again, and again! Next time I'm walking.
