i was under the impression that toyota sold the hybrid tech to honda, along with having sold it to other companies as well.

The insight is way ahead of its time. The technology is pretty impresive. Its not to be confused with the civic and/or the accord hybrid. The civic and accord use I.M.A. ~ Integrated Motor Assist which is a electric motor sandwiched in between the engine itself and the transmission, which takes offer when the vehicle is coasting or coming to a stop/stopped at a traffic light. The hybrid engines actually shut off when idling/stopped. As soon as the brake pedal is released, the electric/gas combination accelerates. That eliminates the wasted fuel associated with stop and go traffic. The insight on the otherhand uses the Air/fuel ratio technology as stated above, giving it the much higher has mileage rating than the hybrids. The emissions equipment on the insight is rediculously expensive. We replaced and Osygen sensor at our dealership last week than cost $659.00. And its a 7 Wire sensor. Wire than to your civic swap!! Lol
