Could you fit this with a MIMA mod?
I believe Mr. Dabrowski is working on a MIMA system for the 2010 Insight, which probably uses the same IMA system as the CR-Z. However, until the electrical manual comes out and there's been time for some engineering, no MIMA.

It's a very good question, the answer to which saddens me deeply, and drives me to mod. Carmakers could build them, but most new car buyers aren't willing to give up versatility, comfort, money, and compliance with fashion trends, which would be required to deliver a 100mpg car.
