I think it's a moot point.

b : something (as a power plant, vehicle, or electronic circuit) that has two different types of components performing essentially the same function

the ima essentially has two different types of powerplants turning the transmission, they are just integrated to make it simple. By using the electric motor in place of a flywheel, honda simplified a complicated drivetrain issue.
toyota took a different method.
Both do the same thing, toyota just used more parts to do it.
I know the honda won't run on electricity alone, but by the same token you can't drive on the highway at the speed limit with the toyota electric motor. Both motors are made to assist.
The toyota on electric will only make it a few miles, right? thats not really saying much.
The idea is to integrate technology to create a solution. and toyota and honda have both done a great job.
I think the full size and suv market is missing the point. There is very little advantage in gaining 16% increase in mpg when you get 15mpg to begin with.
