As is no, however if I were to take my G1 Honda Insight XMSN and put it into something else, I would estimate I would have plenty of room and then some to spare.

Its unfortunate but yeah it does appear to be challenging but its because of how the car was designed up front, but the second part of my question always was why didn't the manufacturers just do this in the first place?

It seems simple, cheap, reliable and it could bypass the prius patents (by that irritating russian guy) and allow MT electric hybrids.

Ah well.
