Default CVT Insights and Lean Burn

I've been curious as to why the CVT Insights weren't offered with the lean burn engine. Does anyone know why this is?

Default SULEV

It was a compromise to achieve SULEV status on emissions. The lean burn mode contributes significantly more pollutants than is allowed by the SULEV requirements.
