I like the idea of decoupling the electric motor from the engine to run the transmission. And regen braking should be much more efficient too. I hope they get their act together, cause IMA is really poor hybrid technology in my opinion. And they need to actively balance their batteries! I read somewhere that the smaller cars would still be IMA. Hopefully the Insight, Civic and CRZ will get drivetrain upgrades. Such a shame that they got so behind the curve that even Ford overtook them in hybrid tech!
