How can the introduction of clutches be a good idea? Clutches burn out regularly and become a maintenance expense. Seems like a step backward , not forward.

Thanks Dr. Ryan for your highly informative post. 27/32 is way better than my 1996 Avalon. I suppose comparing the fuel economy of a $29,000 Camry Hybrid with a $53,000 Infinity is unfair. But to say the Camry is an Eco-box, at 3400 lbs and the plump Infinity at 4100 lbs needs 700 lbs of bling seems a tad silly. The cars are about the same size with about the same dimensions. I think Luxury cars are simply a waste of money, but great cars like the Camry provide value.

And I do not think the Sonota hybrid design is foolish, it got better mileage by far than the heavy weight Infinity.

As far as acceleration, anything under 8 seconds seems adequate to me, as I do not need to prove anything when I leave a toll booth.

But again thanks, I look forward to the 265 Hp FWD hybrid to come.

Problem with this V6 comment is this: a V6 lacks V8 performance. They also lack 4 cylinder economy. They are a compromise between the two desired ideals.
The goal of this power plant is to achieve both ideals.

The Infiniti Hybrid gets 27/ 32 mpg 29 combined so that part of the article is incorrect.

The combined output is 360hp and it will run 0-60 in under 5.5 seconds.

The Sonota hybrid is a fwd vehicle which is foolish to include with a conventional automatic. Nissan's fwd hybrid will use a cvt and the entire power( engine motor tranny) will reside over the front axle. So it can be packaged into any fwd vehicle with little modification. Oh and the output will be ~265hp.

And why even bring up the Camry when the Infiniti M35H is a 4100 lbs rwd luxury vehicle. Not a 3400 hp fwd econobox.

24/32 is certainly better than my 1996 V6 Avalon, but not by much.

Now if you compare it to a 2012 Camry, the Nissan is more powerful (300 hp versus 200 hp) and quicker. But the Camry gets a EPA 40 MPG.

And just how does this differ from the Sonata Hybrid design which also uses a conventional transmission?

“…has been designed to combine V8 performance with four-cylinder fuel economy…”

…hence it’s a V6.
