This is incorrect. HCH2 cells are the two 6-cell units like that, but HCH1 sticks are identical to Insight sticks.

Also: I've been waiting for someone to decide to put that buttery smooth, torquey 1.3 (and tranny) into an Insight, but everyone seems to want to go straight to a 2L K-series. That 1.3L would be awesome in an Insight, IMO.
