I'm looking forward to hearing the details on the new i-DCT hybrid system. Competition means improvements all around.

That's right, the Prius is a bigger and more practical car than even the Civic Hybrid I think. I sat in a rental 2nd gen Prius and it felt rather roomy inside compared to most compact cars. The hatch helps with storage space a ton too.
i-DCT sounds pretty good to me. To be honest, I think the clutched electric motor setup is how it should've been all along.
