It needs the option of the 1.3L for FE, and keep the 1.5 for sport models -- like the old HF / Si trims. Still though, the "sport" factor might not be enough with that abysmal power and FE combo. The Fit seems more appealing and functional. The Insight is just shy of 11-seconds 0-60 and seems quick enough to me.

The grille is probably to conform to Euro pedestrian impact standards -- which carries-over into global production for many manufacturers like Audi.
