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.

Not any time soon.

Actually, if I could pick any drivetrain, it would probably be the newer Accord Hybrid's - a 2.0L Atkinson engine with a 1-speed gearbox and a combined total of 196HP / 226ft-lbs, mated with a lithium battery, which propels the 3600lb Accord to 60 in about 7 seconds with a 50 city / 45 highway EPA rating.



Hey, if I'm going to dream, might as well dream big, right?
