Connecticut Auto Show - Size Matters

The idea of improving fuel economy has also included the idea of 'size.' While some vehicles are very small and light to improve economy, is that really the only consideration?

We attended the Connecticut Auto Show with a focus on taking a look at a variety of hybrid vehicles. On of the things we tried to do was fit the boys (Nick and Matt) into a 'Smart Car' - who on earth is supposed to fit into one of these things anyway?

And then I tried fitting into a Prius - getting in and out was a bit of a challenge.

The Tahoe, Yukon and Escalade (available since January, 2008 in 2 and 4 wheel drive) and the 2009 Silverado (due out in February, 2009) have plenty of room.

I will cover more of the auto show in the next posting.
