My point is, I'd like to see a new, stock car with the interior specs of a Versa Base [1], the aero-optimization of the Insight (new or old Insight) [2], the handling of the Fit [3], and the low-displacement of the 1.0L Metro [4].
Sounds like the Honda Civic HX, .

I read a review that said the new Insight was fun to drive, so I think the Insight is giving you about 2.5 out of 4.

I would like the same kind of car as you, but I think Honda wouldn't offer it for (I suspect) the same reason the HX went away. The HX and Insight "compete" against each other in the marketplace.
