Well, unlike the Insight, the Prius isn't a phenomenal car - it's just another toyota 4-seater that happens to be a hybrid. I mean, the drivetrain is way cool, but the frame isn't anything special. If I were going to do a four-seater, I'd probably be more inclined towards several other of Toyota's cars. > Another option would be a SS-10 conversion.

S-10s make a popular conversion - it's pretty easy to get a good, solid pickup conversion out of them. S.
