BAS+ will be available w/ 6 speed auto. The 1.4 DI Turbo, with BAS+, 6 speed auto, and HCCI will be a combo no other manufacturer will have in 2010. Great mileage, greater power, smooth drivability, and unbeatable engineering solutions at a lower cost than lower power Toyota Synergy drive. I believe that these systems that GM is introducing in 2010 will over the next decade define what hybrid means in the eyes of the consumer. It will be the other auto manufacturers that will be following GM's lead in hybrid technology.
