It's true, the Insight/Prius shape is one of the best shapes that makes sense for a car. My '02 C-class coupe has a Cd of 0.26, and, if you squint, it resembles a Prius. It has a similar boattail and sloped-in roof pillars. I suppose the Benz badge and 2-door body make it look less Prius-like.

100% agreed about the manual tranny. I'd like a 5 or 6 speed manual, please.
