For Honda, include a "trip" display like the Insight has. That way short little trips may be calculated without resetting your "Trip A" or "Trip B" display.

Again, for the HCH. A fold down back seat. Perhaps the introduction of Li-Ion batteries will make this a reality in the near future. I know many people who went the way of the Prius because if the lack of a fold down rear seat .
