are you referring to the insight or the turino? about using the whole grill as a scoop? or your car? the OP picture definitely does not look to use the whol grill as a scoop, and this particular Turino had a maybe foot by one and a half inch scoop that taperedback over a foot to half that.
I was referring to the same amount of pressure that builds up on your hand. The Insight's intake will be able to take advantage of that but it will not have much more force and equally boost pressure in the intake(the pressure in the intake can be greater if the ram scoop is a diffuser or has similar geometry, in which case the pressure would be greater than that experienced by your hand as would the force.) If you wanted to go Ram air on it you wouldn't have much trouble just attach a funnel to the front of the air intake(might further assist in keeping engine debris/dust out by moving it closer to "fresh" air).
If you created a diffuser ram air intake you might not lose out on lean burn because the air is going to heat up as it compresses. At reasonable speeds the temperature of the intake air might rise one degree, allowing your engine to get more air readily and allowing you to have WAI(depending on how big your diffuser cone is).
