    I could swear the Insight's second generation release coincided very closely with the Gen 3 Prius, which was 2010.

    It was close. The Wiki is saying 2009 as a 2010 model year. I remember it as before the gen3, because Toyota ran incentives on the gen2, or even offered the One fleet trim to the public when the Insight2 arrived.

    Always a sign of solid hybrid tech, when city mpg is higher.

    Can also be a sign of very undersized ICE and/or a lousy Cd.

    Prius C for the undersized ICE

    and the Cd doesn't really need an example does it? seems pretty obvious

    Yep, that's my memory, because I was seriously considering a Hybrid at the time.
    It was a late 2009 release, as a 2010 model.

    Build up and buzz around both the "new" Insight and Generation 3 Prius, was about the time I joined Prius Chat.
    In any case, it wasn't 2008.
