That Inside Line article makes sense. I was thinking that the Insight is an old design at this point, so I would very much doubt they're going to use its powertrain in something new. And if Insight sales are so low, I can see why they haven't bothered to really update it. (The interior is dated, even if it is functional.)

Perhaps it's just wishful thinking, but I'd prefer that Honda keep the hybrids as economy cars, rather than corrupt the badge.

Besides, if they do a hybrid CRV (which would make me cry, since I just traded my CRV for the HCH), everyone will complain if they don't do a 4wd version and that becomes a major project.

By the way, the title 2k8 Fit Hybrid will be Insight powered conjured up a mental image of opening the Fit's hood and finding a little Insight in there.
