Even though Honda is unlikely to build a performance-oriented version of the new Insight, we can't help but give them credit for at least making the new one much more attractive than its predecessor.

X-Tomi created a rendering of the 2019 Insight, showing how a hypothetical Type R version might look. His list of changes including new bumpers, a rear wing, bigger wheels (and brakes) and a dark grille, mirrors and roof.

The simple fact that this car doesn't look ridiculous with all this extra stuff on is a testament to the real model's successful redesign. Also, in case anybody forgot what the Insight used to look like, here's a reminder. 

Now, for argument's sake, let's just say that Honda does launch an Insight Type-R. The question is, would it be more attractive than the Civic Type-R? Well, they belong in different segments, but the render doesn't look as over-styled as the Civic Type-R, which some people might actually appreciate.
