I'd love to see an upgrade to the Insight - the "Insight II" or IMAS concept car has some wondering if Honda will do it. I'd love to see one with an 2006 HCH engine type at 1.5 litters, that can cut from 4 to 2 cylinders at cruising and be touted as a hypermiler with Mini Cooper performance.

The stereo has been a big negative of the Insight but thought recent years they had upgraded it.
