Unfortunately these hybrids with turbos will do just the opposite. With the start/stop they will be shutting off the engine at every single stoplight even if it's just for 20 seconds. Then the turbo feels fun to boost so the real world owner goes high boost, high EGT off the line, only to hit the stoplight and have the motor shut down, and then repeat.
