does it pay for itself - no. Is that a question you ask when you spend $2000, or do you feel that 20miles on battery is worth that much smugness? (like a $2000 sound system WILL for at least some people)
Anyway, unless there is a way of tweaking up the IMA assist whilst cruising, this is not likely to provide a decent 'blended' mode on the CRZ.

i wish he explained how it recharges?? unless it just gets charged from plugging it in to an outlet only?? i also would like to know how this would work on the IMA system since it's not a full hybrid like the Prius...


sn: the music at the end sounded like old Sonic The Hedgehog music

Default "blended mode"

I really do wonder how ever. Sport mode in the CR-Z with this mod, would this be clunky? or would it be like a stronger battery assist. I dont know enough about either system to make the hypothisis, but if someone wnats to buy me one I'll tell you how it turned out

Wow suck. In California it's an extra $1000 over the original $2000 to pay for a certificate.
