I've read the articles about this being a possibility for 2012, and I'm really excited. Although I'm kinda pissed to have a good reason to wait, as I'd like to be able to say there's nothing on the horizon worth waiting for. Truth is however that I've wanted somebody to drop a hybrid sport for a while now.

One thing bugs me though - I don't want an automatic, but I don't know if it's even possible to make a hybrid stick-shift. Does anyone have an answer for that?

The original Honda Insight had a stick.

Are you sure? I drove one before I even knew how to drive stick.

My neighbor was like the first person on the planet to own an Insight because the idiot commuted from northern Virginia to Baltimore everyday. I thought when im going to buy my first car it's going to be a hybrid. Sooooo long story short I just bought a 370.....

A hybrid option in a few years would be nice so I wouldnt be such a hypocrite.

Yea I'm sure, the first couple model years were all stick, then a automatic CVT became available in the later model years. Here is a picture of the stick.
