• General Motors Garbage
  Let the guy have his Tahoe. Its still, unfortunately, made by
  General Motors, will have pathetic resale value, is rollover prone
  and basically not near as safe as its made out to be (safer if it
  hits YOU). Like other big SUV's, it's truck platform engineering
  which is cheap for GM to design and build with a big retail price
  markup. And BTW, getting back to resale, when the price of gas
  catches up to the current oil price, you won't be able to give
  these things away, hybrid or not. And...getting back to the fact
  that its made by GM. I would not want to purchase any GM
  product with fairly untested technology such as a hybrid
  drivetrain. GM has a really bad track record with such
  innovation. And they are such a brilliant company! When they
  actually DID develop a decent innovative product like the EV-1 in
  California, they dumped it rather than take a chance on
  developing a following and market share. Then Toyota kicked
  their ass with the Prius... In reply to: "Chevy Tahoe Hybrid wins Green Car of the Year award"

• Great ad campaign BACKFIRE
  GM set itself up for this humiliation. Ha Ha. This is nothing
  though. The big deal here is GM 's supposed "road to recovery",
  (road to avoid bankruptcy), a recovery that relies on continued
  high volume sales of these high markup, poorly engineered and
  cheap to make, 6500 lb. truck framed vehicles that few people
  need to be driving. With 3, 4, 5 dollar/gallon gas, I'm sorry...they
  are doomed. And the responses to this story....well, I just want
  to get out my violin and play "cry me a river". Like "many people
  need SUV's" Pleeeease!!!!!!! Ten years ago nobody drove these
  things. Its a fad pure and simple and one that will end up on the
  scrapheap of automobile BAD IDEAS. I look forward to gas
  rationing so I can laugh at the Mommies that drive, alone, in
  their Suburbans, running errands all over town. They are going
  to whine real loud when all they get is 10 gallons a week for
  their "bubbamobile" I'm in hysterics just thinging about it!
