On the occasion of driving Acura’s new ILX Hybrid Tech, several members of the Winding Road team found themselves asking what exactly hybridized premium-brand small cars have to offer, at least in theory.

Second, are there potentially cheaper and/or better ways to get the things we think we want from compact premium hybrids?
