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?

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.

Nice!! Audi is doing the something for their Q7 SUV Diesel V6, similar to the current Mercedes GL350. It was one of the options I was looking at but it seems Audi is pushing out this vehicle till sometime next year. Besides, Audi has some of the best lease rates in the auto industry.
 
Definitely, that new small TDI diesel should work well with the new GM pickups and H2s. I like the torque ratings enough to tow some large loads. They should consider putting it into the Lambda platforms such the Enclave or Acadia. But Instead GM is working on Hybrids for those vehicles. Hence below.

Now imagine, If GM can marry those two technologies The TDI Diesel and the Hybrid, now you are talking 40-50MPG. Slick.

What's the news, your link led to a blog with 100's of posts.
 
Also I now hear that the introduction is delayed until the 1st Quarter of 2008? Originally it was supposed to be this quarter. Anyone know what caused the delay?
