Replying to: yerth10 (Nov 02, 2007 3:16 pm) Highlander down 63 % (because 2008 model is bigger & heavier)   And because it's not here yet.. these sales are mostly the leftover '07s. There might be a couple of '08s that snuck in under the 10-31 wire.

Replying to: moparbad (Jan 17, 2008 10:47 am) Spoken like a true Detroit "homer" reporter.   Point out the one remaining advantage the Detroit hybrids have.   Beautiful.
#458 of 567 new MB hybrid coming in 2009 !!! by larsb Feb 29, 2008 (9:48 am)
link title   Mercedes-Benz is claiming a major breakthrough in automotive battery development, announcing it will use lithium-ion technology in its upcoming S400 BlueHybrid that will go on sale in Europe in mid-2009. U.S. sales will follow in the third quarter of 2009.   If Mercedes sticks to that schedule, the new upmarket gasoline-electric hybrid will be the first series-production road car to rely on lithium-ion batteries for the storage of energy, presaging a whole new lineup of hybrid models being readied by Mercedes-Benz for introduction in coming years.   The move contrasts General Motors, which has announced that it will put a lithium-ion-based plug-in hybrid Saturn Vue on the market in 2010. GM also plans to use lithium-ion batteries to power its electric vehicles based on the Volt concept. GM plans to deliver the electric cars, which store power in batteries that are charged by plugging into the power grid or by using small onboard gasoline or diesel engines or fuel cells to generate onboard power, in 2010 as well.   Coolness !!!
#459 of 567 And the winner is... by kirstie_h HOST Mar 19, 2008 (7:08 am)
BMW 520d over the Prius. Doesn't make the BMW any more enviro-friendly, but interesting nonetheless and it looks like they had fun doing the test:   To find out we set a challenge: to drive a Prius to Geneva using motorways and town driving. The direct route is 460 miles but we drove almost 100 miles further to give the Prius the advantage of running in urban conditions where its petrol-electric drivetrain comes into its own.   We took along a conventionally powered car – a diesel BMW executive saloon – for comparison and drove both cars an identical number of miles (545).   http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/driving/used_car_reviews/art- icle3552994.ece Replies to this message: gagrice (Mar 20, 2008 1:16 pm) larsb (Mar 20, 2008 2:28 pm) gagrice (Mar 21, 2008 5:35 pm)
