Interesting article. I found a small error though, which tells me the author doesn't know beans about cars or electric motors or physics in general....here it is..

"The Hybrid gets the same rear drum brakes as the cheaper DX and LX sedans, and in the Hybrid the brake pedal has an artificial and somewhat nonlinear feel because a variable amount of the stopping is being done by friction in the electric motor rather than contact between brake pads and discs or drums."

Friction in the Electric Motor????? doooh.... If there is any, it is very negligable. Thomas Alva Westinghouse must be rolling...
