Jeremy Clarkson: Now, the Toyota Urban Cruiser. That is the stupidest name I've ever heard of 'cause , forgive me if I'm wrong; but isn't an urban cruiser someone who wears a mac' and isn't allowed within 200 yards of a primary school?

That's a sexy Honda right there. I don't see how it's a ripoff of a Prius. The Insight was the first mainstream hybrids in the US that I know of so unless it really copied the Prius in every way then I don't see how it could be considered a ripoff.

The Prius had that body style because it was the most aerodynamically efficient while maintaining a usable cabin.
Obviously the lines of the 2010 Insight are very similar, but I'd assume that they came to a similar design during their aero testing.
It's different enough to set it apart, but yea, the silhouette is very similar.
