I was anticipating bad reviews on the 1st SUV hybrid if it worked like Honda's IMA. Honda hybrid folks know that if you do continous lead-foot driving, the vehicle will recall - puttting a drastic end to agressive driving for the next twenty minutes while the batteries recharge.

I would not mind these types driving a hybrid Suburban, but you know they would not take responsibility for running the battery down.
