This IS GM's MOST ADVANCED TRANSMISSION out there. Not only that, but it is MORE ADVANCED THAN THE PRIUS' eCVT, since it overcomes the Prius' requirement for higher speed motors for highway driving speeds, AND the consequantial Prius' compromises necessary for highway speed operation.

So break it down for me genius. I KNOW I am not the only one confused by how the transmission in a Tahoe Hybrid works. How does the power from the gas engine's flywheel go through the transmission? And do me a favor, there's no need to compare to the Prius (unless you want to)...I am not here to convince someone Toyota's way is better.
