I'd have to go back and check, but I believe I was referring to a different, contemporaneous thread. The IMA system is fine, but it is integrated between the engine and the transmission. While the functionality is the same, I'm referring to removing both the starter and the alternator from a conventional ICE setup.
The work necessary to create the functionality to replace both the alternator and starter and integrate that with the rest of the car's systems is daunting to say the least. The Insight and the CRZ have the benefit of a cadre of engineers backing them.
