* Dunno if you followed this, but it seemed pretty strange to my engineering brain. If you like the Volt, and if this improves its efficiency, then shouldn't you like the direct drive? But many people thought it made the Volt less an electric car. If you wanna drive it only on electricity you still can at exactly the same efficiency level... the direct drive just means you will use less fuel, if you need to run on gas. How can that be bad?
The masses aren't known for their brilliance.
