Hybrid engines are not exactly new fandangled things that have been aroung since the late 1800's.
Also testing by open road saw a fuel consunption best figure of 4.6l per 100km not exactly the 3.5l as claimed. As for the CVT how about you read some reputable car magazines ie wheels motor, alot of them have argued against them because of this point.
The peak torque is produced at only 400rpm or somethin while this is great is useless once the vehicle is going.
I'm not saying CVT are bad just that perceptions are that you could get caught for speeding as there is no change in engine note. There not that exclusive anyway, availble in honda Jazz new colt, various audis and othere euro trash.
