Then too, to be fair, the Hybrid Tahoe is noisy pile of junk too. Thats from owners. I might look into what Edmonds has on the Hybrids.
 
Hmm, I've never heard that before. I finally saw my first Tahoe Hybrid that wasn't on a dealer lot the other day.
 
Where is all the noise coming from? Electrical Relays? Or the trans setup, or could it be low resistance tires?
 
The Hybrid Tahoe is interesting with the 20mpg achievable city rating, but the reduced tow rating (6,000lbs won't cut it for me) and huge price just isn't worth it IMO, unless of course gas goes well north of $5/gal.
 
Will Ford or Chevy just give me a diesel Suburban or Expedition! I'd bask in my diesel torque glory and never bad mouth a Ford or GM v8 again:)

Now tell us how you really feel? Since you were wrong about Obama being elected. Is there any chance that your wrong once again?
 
Lets not forget the buddy buddy relation ENRON CEO Kenny and GW Bush had. There are endless letters out there on the net if you care to look. ENRON and the GOP were in bed together.
 
Your hate for the UAW is no secret and you have yet to admit that they have built the greatest model of them all, the American middle class. Admission is the first step to recovery.

After some research, most owners agree that thye aren't exactly highway cars. Then too there is an enviromental problem of where do you dump these batteries. I'm not against them, just being practical.

Do you understand what dumping is? Toyota and Honda can't sell those car anywhere but here in America. This is common to get rid of the competition and then they can name their price and you then have little choice but to pay.

So imagine the hilarious joke called the Escalade Hybrid! $75K for savings the owner will never see. Save the $10K and get a standard Escalade.

What about their cars? Have they been dumping for the last 20 years and never been caught?
 
Why can they sell them here in the U.S.? Could it be they are better than anything the Tiny 3 build? I thought you had faith in America. The American consumer is smart to buy great products despite their origin. Who knows? In the long run, American Cars can become first rate again. We will wait and see.

Sure; selling products at a loss to drive your smaller competitors out of business. GM, Ford, and Chrysler have been dumping product in the US for half a decade now. It doesn't seem to be working for them.

Yeah, and if there was a Lexus LX470 hybrid you'd call it a brilliant move on Toyota's behalf that will save its owner hundreds of thousands of dollars over the next three years and cure his tertiary pancreatic cancer!

To give the UAW credit for the middle class is highly ridiculous. They may have contributed to a small exent, but it is 2008, not 1940, and now they are helping destroy it.
 
Today Gettelfinger was in the press exclaiming about how critical it was to give the bailout money to the D3. The leeches sucking the golden goose dry are concerned about their goose!

So you argue against the hybrids with this assertion, but boy oh boy the Volt is a great thing!
