The hybrid motor is just a better idea...like disc brakes...McPherson
struts...radial tires...unibody suspension...bumper covers, etc. Those
were all considered 'radical' when they first appeared but now every car
on the road has them.

Here to stay? I think not. Hybrids by their very nature are a short-
term engineering 'solution' to a problem. Do you seriously think that
people will be driving petrol/electric vehicles in 20 years time?
