This is what kept me from buying one... I could not justify a $20k 2-seater, but I would have LOVED to have one in college since I had to commute 60 miles a day. I wish Honda could get the technology price down enough to come out with say a $15k 2-seat 60 MPG+ (by EPA estimates) hybrid. They wouldn't be able to make enough of them once gas prices hit $4 again. Maybe that's just a pie in the sky thought right now but if you shrink the I2, I bet you'd be close.
