A good friend that I grew up with married a top exec at Citibank ( Ding! ), 7-figures annually. She, the exec, drives a Caravan my friend drives a Highlander.

"( Ding! )"
Its more like cashching.
 
It been awhile since I've been to NYC (30Yrs+). Lot of tycoons over there with their souped up toys. Maybe I'll visit soon. Appreciate the answer.

Those are practical vehicles to drive in a rat race like NYC. I would be paranoid driving a nice new car with all the crazy cab drivers bouncing off each other. As much as I hate cities I cannot imagine ever being in NYC, let alone driving there.

Heh Heh.. I went to college there, lived there and worked there for 30+ yrs ( including driving a cab at nights while in college ). All in all I loved every minute of it, it's addictive frankly.
 
I wish I had my Prius back then when I was commuting 30 mi from N Jersey to lower Manhattan in the 80s and 90s.
 
Congrats on your new Sequoia, Gary. All the managers here who have the choice of what to lease or buy for their family vehicles take the Sequoia over the Land Cruiser for the comfort and space.

That must be the reason the fleet managers I talked to all seem to drive the Sequoia.. I went for the last year of the model in hopes they have all the bugs worked out. It is also built in Indiana satisfying my desire to buy American made products.

Nice article in Time magazine about hybrids. If you need to get educated on GM's hybrids products, get Time.

I did own GMs first attempt at a hybrid PU truck. The only thing that impressed me was the 110 AC outlets for using power tools. It also held its value well. It cost me about $3000 to own it for 25 months.
 
I think GM would have better served their customers with diesel versions that would pass emissions and guarantee better mileage. Time will tell if they made the right decision. Not Time Magazine.
 
Is the article online for free?

Yes it is. Go to Time.com and search hybrid in the search bar.

Agreed first attempt was a mild hybrid and was a lousy one, hence its cancellation. The new more advanced dual mode hybrid is far cry much improved hybrid solution. Yea, lots of marketing hype but I guess we'll see.
 
Besides Time there's quite a bit of other just published articles on green autos from other magazines. Kiplinger Finance magazine is one, there are others.

Gm has an incredible new diesel coming out soon. Only 4.5 liters, quiet, clean and to quote,
 
"The premium V-8 diesel engine is expected to deliver class-leading refinement, horsepower and torque and fulfill multiple vehicle applications with ratings in excess of 310 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque."
 
30 MPG in a two wheel drive pick up is projected.
