We have turned to the dark side, in the form of a black 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. Unlike our cars, it has a 6-speed transmission with a parallel hybrid power plant. It's unconventional in that the single motor/generator and clutch replace the torque converter in the tranny. ICE is a 2L non-Atkinson direct-injection 4-cylinder which combines with the 38kW MG for 193 total HP. Battery has 1.6kWh capacity, and based on AVT test data for the prior Li-ion battery, it should provide comparable performance to Ford's battery. No idea how they handle regen through the transmission gearing. I've only driven it once... Nice simple dial display of power requested clockwise and regen braking requested counter-clockwise. Dual fuel gauges for gas and HVB. Three modes, ECO, normal and SPORT. And the high-end version had an "Ultimate" option package with a panoramic sunroof that opens. So we have all the bells and whistles... She saw the sunroof and that was that. Given my wife wanted a hybrid when she first bought a Hyundai in 2011, this is perfect for her. Very happy she waited for Li-ion technology! Not so happy to have an all new drive train again... or so many bells and whistles. I liked simple cars before these hybrid things came along... HAve fun, Frank
