I had no idea!

That the Honda Insight's hybrid powertrain would fit perfectly in the Honda Fit!

2008 Honda Fit Hybrid to get Insight engine — Autoblog

The distance between the front wheel hubs of both vehicles is identical, and a Honda insider confirmed to Bradley Berman of HybridCars.com that the Fit will arrive in 2007 with the Insight's hybrid drivetrain and the ability to achieve fuel economy in the low to mid-50 mpg range.
Even though the Fit obviously didn't arrive with the Insight's powertrain, I wonder if anyone has considered a DYI swap?
