It's just autostop, so there's really nothing hybrid about it. Their new full-hybrid will be something significant, but seems a lot more complicated than anything on the market today.

It does not make HAH look good; it only highlights how awful GM is.

If it still is their best, that makes the Accord Hybrid more efficient than anything they sell us (EPA ratings-wise anyway).
I've seen the AH singled out for using the hybrid system for power instead of fuel economy, yet it's rated better than everything the world's largest auto maker offers us? I thought this was an interesting way of looking at it. Has anyone seen this mentioned?

Before the FEH....I can't even think of an AWD vehicle that got FE near 30mpg.
(We lived in upstate NY with lots of snow and needed AWD!)

Not to bust on GM more than necessary, but is the Vibe a GM make, a Toyota make or was it collaborative? I honestly don't remember.
If it is a Toyota make or collaborative make, that seems even more pathetic that they need help to even make a car with that level of fuel economy.
