Ito gave no further insights as to timing or which vehicles would get the systems, but it&#8217;s safe to speculate that the TSX and TL sedans would be the first recipients of the new system. However, when we spoke to Ito last fall in Japan, he did say that Honda was developing a hybrid system suitable for larger vehicles. It&#8217;s not clear how much it will differ from the architecture of the current IMA mild hybrid system used in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/civic\">Civic<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/insight\">Insight<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/green.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/11\/detroit-2010-honda-cr-z-promises-to-bring-driving-joy-to-the-hy\/\">CR-Z<\/a>, but we do expect the system to come equipped with lithium ion batteries from Honda&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/green.autoblog.com\/2008\/12\/18\/honda-to-form-joint-venture-with-gs-yuasa-for-lithium-batteries\/\">new partners at GS Yuasa<\/a>.
