OTOH stock Honda radios are really not the best. The Insight's radio was a total joke. The Civic's sound system is better but still not the best.

Yeah but what about my very shitty FM signal? FM should be as bad as it is in my car. For the record, I never listen to AM so, I don't know about my AM reception.
As far as the antenna placement on the HCH2, that could be a part of it. The HCHI the antenna is in the front of the car, where it is in the rear with the HCHII. I was told from Honda that the hybrid's antenna is not embbeded in the rear glass like on the other non hybrid models because they were worried about the battery and inverter interfering with the signal. Maybe the antenna on the '06 is doing just that, maybe even though its not in the glass but in the rear of the car maybe it is recieving interfearance.
