Replying to: dixienbailey (Mar 05, 2008 7:05 pm) in today's world of wacky MSRP and considering the economy, I can not fantom what your re-sale value will be once these vehicles begin piling up on the lots. by next year MSRP buyers of this vehicle will probably be looking at a $10k depreciation minimum. you're brave to be buying anything un proven from GM. |

A reporter is hoping to talk with hybrid owners who have had to replace the hybrid's battery. Please respond to ctalati edmunds.com before Friday, May 16, 2008 with your daytime contact information and a few words about your experience.

I went on gm's site and gather that the liftgate is not (and there's no option for) powered? Am i correct? Thanks

I'll confirm all of the great comments on the hybrid system's smoothness and overall great drive-ability. I recently had a Yukon Hybrid on an overnight test-drive and loved it. I was comparing it to a 2007 Denali (Dad's), and found the Hybrid to be MUCH quieter than the Denali. I was somewhat skeptical of the hybrid system, but after the test drive, no concerns. I decided not to purchase it at this time for a couple of reasons, but the biggest complaint I had was the lack of a spare tire. I couldn't get my mind around having an SUV that I'll use as a family hauler without a spare. I even thought about adding a spare where it should go but there is a huge muffler there (Explains why it is so quiet). Also, more of a complaint of all Yukons and Tahoes, not just the Hybrid--when you get a second row bench, the only LATCH car seat adapeters are on the passenger and middle positions. There is no LATCH for the middle row driver's side. This makes NO SENSE. It would have made sense had the bench split favor the other side, so that with 2 car seats installed, you could flip the small section forward for access to the third row. Maybe I'll get over the spare tire thing, and maybe gas will get more expensive which makes the Hybrid make sense financially.

Replying to: juddsonr (May 15, 2008 10:18 am) correct me if things have changed, but someone recently posted buying one at MSRP. When you consider the non-hybrid version is being advertised at $10,000 below MSRP, that makes the hybrid option at MSRP really expensive. |

Anyone know how many Tahoe Hybrids GM is planning on selling this year? Is there a count yet? I find it absurd that some believe that this approach of hybridizing the biggest cars out there is where we will have the most in energy conservation.
