Mercedes (and others) is going this direction, which to me, seems all positive. A very simple system with 48v starter/alternator sandwiched between the engine and transmission. EQBoost adds 21 hp above the already strong 362 on the 3.0 L six, and 184 lb-ft for periods of time with very little weight. It gets rid of all the belts at the front of the engine and provides instant starting and allows a coasting mode. The upper levels also get an electric supercharger in addition to the turbos.
Autoweek says, "This new inline-six is simply fantastic in every Mercedes it powers."

Your immediate dismissal shows you don't know much about it.
