I've read up on this Hybrid System on the new Accord.
With the Engine and Electric motor running the car has over 270hp when you get on the throttle. It is nice that you retain the quick and usable power when needed but the car is economic and "environment friendly."
Now why can't GM give us a Malibu with a diesel from Opel/Fiat or a I4/Electric Motor combo. The faster these are developed and the more wide-spread they are used, the cheaper the powertrains will be.
