It seems that despite adopting: — a lithium - ion battery; — a «high - pressure direct fuel injection that replaced the less - efficient multi-port injection
type»; — a new Hydra - Matic six - speed automatic
transmission that replaces the conventional four speed used previously; — a «new BAS design [that is supposed to] ha [ve] noteworthy fuel economy gains compared to the earlier system»; — all those «talks»
of «advancements gained from production
of multiple generations
of hybrid technology as well as development
of the Chevy Volt»; — and significantly less horsepower and oomph than an Accord hybrid that was first debuted 7 years ago, there are actually little to show for any significant advancement in fuel economy from GM's
latest hybrid.
If you are more

type then you'd be interested to know that Chrysler's
latest HEMI V8 can be mated to either a standard Tremec TR - 6060 six - speed manual
transmission or a dual - disc high performance clutch, depending on the model.
