Default hybrid power

I haven't read any details on what kind of hybrid they are planning to bring here, but one version they are selling in India doesn't have an electric drive motor- it simply shuts the standard engine off when sitting idle after a short pause, you restart it when it's time to go, thereby saving fuel. I don't think drivers here would take to it, especially those in city traffic. I'm not sure that qualifies as a hybrid, I'm just saying don't assume there is only one kind of hybrid.
