"It’s rumored that this powerplant might use a hybrid system similar to Honda’s Integrate Motor Assist (IMA) system. That basically means that the electric motor will be fitted between the engine and transmission"

probably why that pic was in there.

I have never seen a hybrid with a manual transmission outside of concept form, they always wind up with a funky CVT (99% of hybrids), torque converter (Infiniti Q50) or double clutch (McLaren P1).

Could be a good thing if Nissan employs a similar system to IMA. The hybrid Honda CR-Z is available with a supercharger and a six speed manual transmission.

With all the R&D money Nissan spent on Syncro-rev matching manual technology I don't see them abandoning it for the next gen Zed.
