What if...they came out with a parallel/series hybrid that had say, 4 pedals and manual transmission :O 3 typical pedals, and then 1 pedal for the parallel hybrid motor. IMO, that would be a blast to drive :P Hell, how about a CVT that has a sliding bar for the gear ratio control.
Maybe I'm just insane.

For first gen insights, it's a joystick to throttle back or accelerate the electric motor for maximum power or MPG. You mount it next to the manual shifter. Effectively a second throttle.
