I have sold two Hybrid Tahoes and both my customers love them and are getting in the low 20’s on the 4WD to mid 20’s on the 2WD on average!

This is a Full Size SUV that is meant, like the article says, for someone who still needs or wants the safety, luxury, power and convienence of a FULL SIZE SUV and would like to make a ‘green’ statement and save $ on fuel in the long run. And with gas prices probably sticking around $4/gall if not going up, it will take even less time for the Hybrid to itself off.

If you don’t like it or don’t need a vehicle this size then don’t buy it. Thats the great thing about America boys and girls, you have choices

A4, read much?

Hybrid? Oh so it gets 10 mpg instead of 9? Awesome. – Yea it’s the best hybrid around better than a Prius and the resale value will be through the roof

Built in Texas too. The best things come from Texas Our president, his daddy and LBJ
What a surprise. I hope GM burns to the ground with Chrysler. – Well if it’s a GM its will burn down to the ground and take a house with it.

It’s **** like this that makes American cars laughable. American cars are not laughable they are the best and even though there is a superior Japanese product out there you should be a good American and buy this spicy hybrid or is it mild? I don’t know, all I know is that it’s American and buy it or you are a commi bastard

And why does the ****ing interior still look like it’s from the 90’s!?- Well forgive GM they are a little slow. What should it matter that GM is 12 years behind and now they are copying the designs of Japanese cars from the 90’s?

Actually, I think it is what our country needed 5 years ago. Today perception of Tahoe as a gas guzzler supersede any notion of savings. Perhaps secret service can use them.

Only two years after most of the buyers of this tank will have wanted to trade out of it

What is with the big center-dash display in every hybrid that has to show exactly what the thing is doing the whole time? Does anyone really care? Does the driver have his/her eyes glued to that huge screen while going down the road? How much battery power does the display and the computers that run it consume?

I’ve gotta get my crack in on the “manouverability” of one of these things too. I believe a Sherman tank would do a better job navigating the parking deck at the local mall than this pig of a vehicle.

Nobody that needs to tow 6000lbs is going to buy one of these… they are all being driven by 5′3″ yuppie soccer moms who thought that their mini-van wasn’t good enough.

When I hop into Hondas and Toyotas hard cheap plastics abound (new models included), along with cheap looking stenciling on the buttons, but when I hop into new Fords and GMs I find nicer soft-touch plastics. A good example of this is the Mercury Milan, which gets a bad rap but if you stick your hand out and touch the dash it’s pretty nice.

I’ve actually seen reviews of domestic run-of-the-mill cars where the reviewer finds some hard or cheap-feeling plastic component buried up under the dash and bemoans thru-out the entire paragraph how the domestic attention to detail is lacking, however they don’t seem to bother to stick their hand out and touch the hard crap plastic on the dash of an Accord.

As for the quality of BMW plastics, it’s a myth. BMW interior plastics are no better than Toyota or Ford, and in fact their dash designs are gimmicky. BMW simply plays off the mentality of “you’re paying more so it must be better ….. right?”

“But despite that heft, the Tahoe Hybrid is extremely maneuverable at parking lot speeds…”
Typical press-release nonsense mumbo-jumbo! Even a top-fuel dragster, a 60’s muscle car, a train or a shipyard crane are somewhat “maneuverable” at those speeds but that doesn’t mean they can corner…

So quit harping on this trivial BS. Please get off the road before you start an argument with the guy in the rear view mirror.
