I agree with you - the computer is the soul of it - in fact it's worth making sure your hybrid software is current. My personal feeling is that the GL is set up too conservatively, in that it uses the battery too sparingly. I'd rather it use the battery to the point of exhaustion more, something that could be achieved through the software. Perhaps this will happen as more poor city numbers come in and Saturn see the pattern.

I'm in IT too - numerous systems, across the range. I'd love to have a way of selecting the 'mode' on the hybrid. That would help us out I'm sure.
