Nissan has some bugs to work out of future hybrid
Nissan's first in-house hybrid will arrive in 2010 with an Infiniti badge, but its project manager concedes that he has many kinks to iron out.
During a prototype test drive for journalists last week in Japan, the hybrid car suffered awkward lags when the engine kicked in to help the electric motor. Deceleration also was jerky because of battery regeneration.

Re: Nissan has some bugs to work out of future hybrid
Hybrid electric technology is one heck of a technological challenge. Nissan is about 12 years behind Toyota. Once they get the kinks worked out, they'll catch up rapidly. If you've read "The Prius That Shook The World," this is what they faced too. Very tricky technology.
