It is too bad chevy Tahoe hybrid was paired with a gas engine. They had a chance to really turn heads if they used a diesel hybrid plug in. Possible 30mpg which could help the world not the 20mpg thing now. Why is a private company Fisker Karma coming out sooner than the Chevy volt. Yes it is more expensive but it is a small private company. The Karma is beautiful.

You;d be amazed how fuel efficient and relatively clean the BMWs are for the power they offer. It's actually a pretty good list. What can we make of the US having two entrants, only one from the Big Three? No wonder they're on the skids. Any company misreading the demands of the market so badly deserves all they get (excluding the bail out!).
