On the home page, I didn't see any search box where I could plop in the description above, so I clicked on "Search Inventories" and it was just a listing of various models, and no search box to plop the description in.

Anyway, about all I would be able to tell you if I found the page is whether it is a conventional hybrid or a plug-in hybrid (I very much suspect the former as I think in a descriptor like that they'd have specified plug-in if that was the case). As for "Continuously Variable Transmission with intelligence and Shift Mode (CVTi-S) " i'm definitely way out of my tree on something like that and whether it is good / bad / whatever.

The last time I seriously shopped for a car was 1988. I'm just trying to educate myself on hybrids (conventional and plug-ins) mostly because I'm trying to learn more about energy and the environment and global warming and all that, and the debate about what kind of car is part of that.

I don't know if you saw NNadir's post#32 where he concludes the conventional hybrid is the best of them all as far as lifecycle emissions, based on I don't know how many assumed annual miles. His #32 doesn't have the graphic embedded (he has a link to it), but anyway in my post#33 I embedded the graphic, the last graphic in that post.
