#71 of 3125 problem with diesel hybrid by nedzel Oct 06, 2005 (5:18 am)
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.

Replying to: nedzel (Oct 06, 2005 5:18 am) 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.

Replying to: 307web (Oct 06, 2005 8:41 am) 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 ????

Replying to: 307web (Oct 06, 2005 8:41 am) 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. Replies to this message: 307web (Oct 06, 2005 4:13 pm) kirstie_h (Oct 07, 2005 4:00 am)

#76 of 3125 I got my latest MT Magazine yesterday.... by rockylee Oct 06, 2005 (2:41 pm)
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 Replies to this message: blckislandguy (Oct 06, 2005 6:59 pm)

Replying to: caddys4life (Oct 06, 2005 2:02 pm) 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. Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Oct 07, 2005 4:00 am)

Replying to: rockylee (Oct 06, 2005 2:41 pm) Yes, I hope that GM can pull off a world class interior without making it into a bordello. The imports have had heated wheels, zenons, good audio, heated windshields, nice leather in addition to leather seating, real gauges, for years. GM has a mental hurdle to cross if they are going to start offerring tasteful (the current ' slade is a bit garrish unless you are a homeboy) and luxurious interiors in their big SUVs. Heck, they are a little late even to the rack and pinion party.
