Hopefully someone will realize there is a market for a no frills, very light, very efficient and reasonably cheap series hybrid. Use a sonic body. Keep it as light as possible and simple. No complicated parallel drive. A 500 cc 2 cylinder engine. Keep it light enough and it wouldn't require a ginormous expensive battery pack to give it a 30 mile range.
...such cars used to be "base" models, but apprently no such thing exists according to the current Chebby naming, ie:

LS = Luxury Standard,
LT = Luxury Touring,
LTZ = Luxury Touring loaded-with-everything from A-to-the-Z.
