I can overlook that for mid 30's mpg...

Well yes the electric motor will produce 100% torque at low RPMs, but, it is also only 40 HP so if you stomp on the gas you will hit its threshold and the ICE will start, during the ICE start it clearly needs to briefly disengage the gears (or something of a more technical nature) to prevent a jerk and lurch.
It is sort of annoying if you have to stop at a yield and need to quickly pull out in traffic. Of course this can be solved by not trying to pull out with such little time!
