    I believe the Accord did. Simpler to use an electric one in both the hybrid and PHEV.
    Being Japan only, I haven't seen much specifics for the Jazz.

    Looking back on my 2000 Insight, I wonder if using a good grid charger would have protected it's battery pack. I did by a grid charger, but the problem is it did not communicate to my car it was charged, so after the charge driving it I heard some sizzling (overcharged and heated), meaning a cell or two was probably ruined. :eek:

    I would not rule out getting a Gen I Insight as a project if it was cheap.

    With the all aluminum body and low cd, I wouldn't fault anybody if they wanted to make one a straight ICE. I wonder if a SkyActiv drivetrain with iEloop could be made to fit. Likely not with the headers.
