Both General Motors and Toyota are promising plug-in hybrids by the 2010 model year (late 2009).

If GM sold this type of Suburban I would buy a new one immediately. It is a joke that GM and FORD need to be bailed out because they are not with the program. I feel bad for the people who may lose their jobs.

Awesome!!! I'd wish to see more companies focusing on larger vehicles than just small ugly looking cars. Hopefully people will get back into the larger vehicle market since large vehicles can be just efficient as these ugly little front wheel drive cars. I'd also love to see some hybrid pickup trucks and full size vans. Maybe then Starcraft vans will become popular once again!! :)
