I don't honestly see this. hybrids are big right now. Toyota sold more Prius Cs in 3 days that GM does in a month for the Volt. Cars like the Volt and pure EVs are very cost prohibitive right now. IMHO by not offering a true Hybrid in their midsizers and something akin to the standard Prius GM is missing a lot iof sales. If hybrids are obsolete Ford would not be making a new Fusion Hybrid, Toyota would not be mking a Camry hybrid and the Altima and Accord would not be coming out with hybrid vrsions next year. The Eassist is a lam duck system. the only reason they made ANY sense before was that they were cheaper than everyone elses conventional hybrids, that just isn't the case now. Eould I buy a Hybrid? probably not. Do i see the business sense in making a TRUE Hybrid powertrain available? ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!
