Me, I think hybrids are stupid for all kinds of engineering reasons. I
have
no intention of buying one.

You have no idea how the Prius works. It is "simpler" than a normal car.

Can you help me understand how it's "simpler" please?

I knew next to nothing about the P, so looked it up he

It looks an effing complicated thing to me compared to engine-clutch-gearbox
of a normal car.

Also that Atkinson cycle engine needs replacing with a Diesel.
