GM Marketing? How many GM hybrids do you know?

OK, I have a complaint. As noted in my November 1 blog where I was interviewed on Fox Radio (see posting), the news media was unaware of GM's hybrid fleet! While many companies have one or two hybrids available, GM has over 8! And a number within a reasonable price range and several under the Toyota Prius - with more room, I might add!

So, here we go (2009's):

Model; Base Price; Mileage City/Highway

• GMC Yukon; $50,945; 20/21


• Chevy Tahoe (2008 Green Car of the Year); $51,405; 21/22


• Cadillac Escalade; $72,865; 20/21


• Saturn Vue; $26,270!; 25/32


• Saturn Aura; $26,685!; 24/32


• Chevy Malibu; $26,225!; 24/32

With the Siverado and Sierra coming in early 2009. This does not include the Volt - the first US Production Electric Vehicle, which will be out early 2010 or other hybrids under development and the pricing does not reflect any energy rebates, tax incentives, nor special deals.

Personally, I want to see more USA vehicles on the road - supporting our big three and their hard work in developing leading edge hybrid, electric and alternative fuel vehicles.
