I was on the future Cadillac Escalade discussion, and someone posted a picture of the next GMC Yukon, which I am posting here.
 
All I can say is WOW!

I would like to see GM catch up with some of the features and build materials of the other companys', built reliability has gone up very well. I bought a ordered a new 2001 Yukon XL, my wife drover it for 4 years and replaced a fuel pump at 65k, I traded it in for a 2005 Armada LE in December. The features and price of the Armada are better than the Denali at much less (power liftgate, Nav 7", 2nd row captians, ect) loaded was $49k and the motor smokes the 5.3 from GM, I towed my race car every weekend. The bad part of the Armada was that I picked it up on Dec 18, with a broken fuel gage, and in the last 9 1/2 months have racked up over 100 days in the shop, Nissan is buying it back on Monday. I looked at the Toyota Sequoia and they do not have the room or the ability to tow with the GM (my neighbor who tows the same exact trailer as me has issues). Look at Consumer Reports the 04 and 05 GM reliability history, they received the highest rating in every area. The large SUV reliability rankings compared to average, Lincoln Navigator -181%, Nissan Armada -111%, Ford Expedition -85%, Toyota was number 1 but GM was nuber 3 WELL above the others. I wish I never traded my Yukon XL in for my Lemon, and Nissan has been horible to deal with. So remember it is more than just features and IRS.

problem with diesel hybrid by nedzel

is the cost. The hybrid systems are so expensive that Toyota is losing several thousand dollars on each one they sell. Diesel engines are also several thousand more than a comparable gas engine. Put the two together and you've got a premium of more than $5,000 per vehicle.
 
I suspect that a modern, high-pressure turbo diesel would be more than efficient enough on its own.

I heard that Toyota is not losing money on the current Prius. I doubt it would add $5000 additional to the cost and on a $40,000+ loaded SUV, there will be room to absorb some of the cost and buyers of a loaded SUV are less price sensitive than Prius buyers anyway. Look at all the people who would spring for rear seat entertainment systems, navigation etc..
Imagine a Tahoe or Denali with better mileage than a V6 Malibu.

I know that my father's company Delphi makes a Direc Injection system for the Chevy Colbalt, and Hyundai cars. I would think the new SUV's will get this treatment to save gas milage. I do know the SUV's recieved DOD, a 6 speed, and a hybrid battery pack is in the works for them. probably I would guess for 2008.
hoped you guys liked the GMtv link from above. Isn't the Denali awesome ????

what are you talking about. Toyota is losing about 10-15 thousand dollars on the prius but they don't mind because it gets their name out in the public. Anyways the new SUVs are awesome especially the denali and the new escalade.

I was amazed Motor Trend still gives the Land Cruiser 4 stars.....as much as I like MT, many people think they have a biased torwards imports. I would tend to agree with those people. Yes the Cruiser is a legend off roader, but my gosh it hasn't seen a updated in like 12 yrs. or so. Toyota still asks $58+ K for a copy. Only Toyota would able to pull this off, and still have buyers of a underpowered SUV.
If I was a Cruiser buyer, and was going to spend that kind of dough, I'd spend it on the Lexus version. However since I think both are way overpriced, I will be looking at the GMT-900's probably the Yukon Denali or Caddy Escalade. I can keep the extra money for the $3 gas. not to mention get double the horsepower and better gas mileage. The Escalade and Denali are suppose to get between 380-400 horsepower. heated steering wheels, AC seats, top shelf audio equipment. The Escalde will get a different guage cluster and a few more gadgets according to GM. Happy posting-->rockylee

Toyota is not losing $10,000 or $15,000 per car on the current Prius and only selling them to "get their name out" as you say.
