I applaud the Volt, but not the hype, but where it is at in hybrids at present is where Toyota dominates . . . with the Prius . . . and Honda will be entering this segment early next year.
Honda's hybrid system is a mild system, it's not a full system, it's very similar to GM's BAS system. Gm's Two mode System wasn't design for car's, the BAS+/ 2Gen two mode will be a lot better. What's slowing gm down is batteries, they have the system's not the batteries, that's were the Saturn Vue Plug in come's in.
