Jason,
Not to get in a flame war, BUT i would argue that under the deffinition of a hybrid by Meriam-Webster dictionary that the IMA and I.C.E. components of Honda's system perform essentially the same function (if the arguement is no...then the differences pointed out would also make the HSD and THS non-hybrids...hmmm, that could be an odd writeup )
Cheers,
Steven
