Re: Nice to see some backbone here

"why not just be honest and call it a hybrid"

Generally speaking, hybrid is understood to be a dual drive system. In the generator versions (where the engine doesn't drive the wheels directly), it's a series-hybrid.

Arguable, they are far better than a normal hybrid, as you can run the engine constantly at its most fuel efficient rpm, which you can't do on a regular car, hybrid or otherwise.
