I still drive a 2000 Gen 1 Insight. Sadly the Gen 2 was an “Insight” in name only. And the later years had serious engine issues. I am not sure if even this model is worthy of the “Insight” name. Nothing appears to be as revolutionary as the Gen 1 was for its time.
Will it have the same cargo capacity of the 2011 model. I have one and is great room enough for large boxes bcuz its hatchback design.
