Volt vs Insight vs Prius: What are your initial thoughts on their design?

Sure we’ll have to wait until the Detroit Show to see the production version of the Honda Insight and yes, we don’t have enough pictures of the Chevrolet Volt to make a totally safe judgment on its design. But how about your first impressions on the styling of both the Insight and Volt based on what we’ve seen up until now and how do you think they compare with the current Prius, which by the way, will be replaced by a new generation model in 2009?

And since it’s only fair that you know what we think, here’s our take on the styling of all three models: conservative to the point of boredom. The only reason we’d give the Volt an extra point is because the other two dedicated hybrids look so similar. Other than that, the production Volt is no more adventurous than any other mainstream Chevy sedan while the Insight looks like a rejected concept proposal for a liftback version of the new Fit / Jazz based City Sedan.
