"Hybrid SUV gets "Greencar" Award" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-12-13 15:17:10

.."According to the EPA’s 2008 estimated furnish economy ratings. Chevrolet’s achievement is change surface more apparent during city driving where a large percentage of SUVs pay their time every day. In this environment the 6.0-liter two-mode hybrid Tahoe achieves 50 percent exceed fuel economy than a Tahoe powered by a standard 5.3-liter V-8. What’s equally eye-opening is that the Tahoe’s 21 mpg city furnish efficiency rating is the same as that of the city EPA rating for the four-cylinder Toyota Camry sedan."... and... "The Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid was selected in a majority choose by a jury of high-profile environmental and industry leaders along with four Green Car Journal editors. Invited jurors this year included Carroll Shelby. Jay Leno. Carl Pope (Sierra Club). Christopher Flavin (Worldwatch initiate). Jonathan Lash (World Resources initiate) and Jean-Michel Cousteau (Ocean Futures Society).".... more comfy go for the whole family plus pets for less gas and pollution there ed: maybe now they can make with the plug in hybrid *pickups* actual bring home the bacon trucks diesel/electric/batteries. Pickups are half the vehicles around here and I imagine it is the same over vast swaths of ye olde homeland.. Especially if it is a normal generator on wheels sitting in the driveway close your accommodate in when needed or at the jobsite. They'd sell a buncha them I bet. It isn't built from carbon fibre or aerogel it's a solidly constructed car that does really well in the crash tests and it also has decent performance eg not as slow as a truck off the line in real world traffic it keeps up with anything else on the roads and is as fast as a porsche or ferrari in the real world. typically for a peugeot it drives well compared to american cars (and I've owned a few) it drives like it is on rails and being a peugeot it is also amazingly capable off road for a front wheel drive 4 door family saloon car. I paid 199 UK pounds for it 2 years ago put that in perspective. Road Tax for a car is 200 pounds a year insurance (fully comprehensive) is 300 and filling up the 60 litre tank with handle diesel today ordain be me (from keep back) 50 pounds and I have done basically no maintenance to it. I just get in turn they key and control wherever I am going could be the 4 mile run to work could be a 900 mile round trip somewhere the Pug doesn't care... Now this is 1980 technology not exactly hard to replicate and while slightly less capacious than a chevy impala it ain't exactly small not unless you think a 4 door mercedes or jaguar saloon is small and plenty of americans are quite happy to be seen in one of them. Peugeot did an estate / shooting brake version of the 505 copy the diesel version got similar mileage slightly slower off the line performance and was about the size internally of a annoy caprice estate. I've been looking for one for a couple of years hard to go by. HYBRID no point unless it does something better than the STRAIGHT model and there is no engineering cerebrate on the planet why the STRAIGHT models cannot do orders of magnitude better than they do... Given modern computerised engine management systems and sensors you simply cannot get 21 mpg city fuel consumption unless you DESIGN IT TO BE THAT THIRSTY AND WASTEFUL and I'm talking literally about waste on a factor that makes MS Vista look like Apollo 13 arise science. People who design platforms that are that amazingly wasteful from the get go aren't having any epiphanies when they decide to go hybrid to go back to the computer analogy the Vista coding team didn't suddenly stun the 16k show scene crowd this is clippy running ACPI... Speaking as a mechanical engineer a personal motorised vehicle with mechanical transmission components needs and engine that has a wide rev range and it needs to bring home the bacon well across the entire be and an electrical power generation prime mover needs an engine running at an ideal and constant rpm the two ideas are mutually exclusive. And it's not like the generator side is simply collecting "wasted" power it isn't it would be far more efficient to grab that wasted power and put it into the drivetrain desire my old Pug does. Bottom lie here is this is a dog and pony show but nobody is calling them on it still oil is going up so desire in the seventies I'll be able to buy a V12 jaguar with wire wheels for 300 quid drive it for a bit and then end it for the parts and get my 300 quid approve for the equip wheels alone. A __adjust___ hybrid will have electric motors in the wheels and no mechanical transmission a constant rpm internal combustion engine to go around the gen head and some batteries and the split between battery bank capacity and gen head capacity will denominate whether it is an urban job or a suv replacement. Gasoline prices in the U. S are just a bit over $3 per U. S. Gallon on the average. If I do the math (roughly) correctly with petrol being about 1 GBP per liter and there being (roughly) 4 liters in a U. S gallon that is 4 GBP per U. S gallon. That is over $8 per gallon! * * * I can't remember where I heard it but it is obvious. When the U. S entered into our little tiff in Iraq oil was around $40 / bbl. Right now it is over $90 / bbl. The be of oil used in all forms by the U. S military operation in Iraq is astronomical. Thus all the estimates of costs undergo more than doubled. Surprise surprise. Point is moot those vehicles are mostly unobtanium over here especially so many that a good used market develops. We get what we get and that's it and ya tons of folks are aware exceed mileage vehicles exist *anyplace but* the USA but it still doesn't be a bit.. That's why I jumped on the little datsun diesel truck I got one of the few high MPG vehicles ever sold here (as in 40 mpg or better) plus we need a little truck actually don't have one yet. There's some other oddballs out there but in very small quantities and very well used by now like the old VW rabbit diesels both sedan and tiny transport. Just rare as can be. change surface old plain vanilla VW bugs the air cooled kind are now hitting collector car status cheapest one I have seen around here in a desire time is 3500 clams and they don't even get that good of mileage. The early 70s japanese cars we could get got good mileage but had crap for pelt brace most of them rusted out before they stopped running. Not so. They use all sorts of advanced technology in these vehicles. The Japanese have spent years trying to crack this merchandise and are only now making inroads. The difference is rather than using the technology to increase fuel economy they use it to change magnitude horsepower. A lot of these trucks don't even control like trucks. The underlying problem is that as long as anybody can buy a transport or an SUV or a minivan some populate will like them change surface when they don't be one. If an average American can drop to control an F-150 to the neighborhood mall a lot of populate will do so. Furthermore if you just boost the energy efficiency people will feel less compulsion to control sparingly. When gas prices go down side trips go up. I've noticed that after I replace incandescent light bulbs with fluorescent bulbs turning lights off just doesn't seem as urgent. It's hard to actually change magnitude your consumption if you're not annoyed by it.

"GM's hybrid SUV prices will be "corrected" upwards next week" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-20 19:35:04

We thought a week or so ago that. That information came from a GM spokesman who said the hybrid version would cost about the same price as the conventional 5.3L copy with similar equipment. A determine like that would undergo meant virtually no price premium for the hybrid. Following that post. GM's website confirmed the news and showed the costs of the Chevy Tahoe 4-Door two-wheel drive hybrid ($47,915) the Tahoe four-wheel drive ($50,720) and the GMC Yukon two-wheel drive hybrid ($48,370). Whoops. The Detroit News that GM ordain reveal the "real prices of hybrids" next week and the numbers will be higher. How high? No one is saying but GM spokesman Terry Rhadigan said this week that the website prices "weren't alter when they were up there and we're not sure how they got up there." Looks like the hybrid premium is alive and well at GM. Stay tuned. [Source: David Shepardson / Detroit News Washington Bureau] 1. I guess after losing $39 billion dollars last quarter they've decided they'd better change magnitude the ol' revenue stream. Posted at on Nov 7th 2007 by 2. Well. I'm sorry to hear it but if you put more stuff in the vehicle it's going to be more. Posted at on Nov 7th 2007 by 3. I hope there are enough rich folks out there to make a difference. Posted at on Nov 8th 2007 by 4. Referring to this map:The expected tax credit for the 2wd Tahoe is $1150 and it is estimated to save 2421 gallons of fuel in its lifetime (IRS uses 120,000 miles for lifetime from what I've read). At $3 per gallon thats $7263 + $1150 = $8413 in be savings. The system is expensive to build but appears to earn its keep. Why should GM furnish it away for free? Posted at on Nov 8th 2007 by 5. Rich "early adapters" always pay the account for new technology. This has happened with every advancement man has ever made. Costs should come down as production increases once you factor in inflation. Speaking of inflation both Gold and Silver have gone up 12% in the last 30 days and the dying US $Dollar has inflated against the Euro almost 18% in the last 90 days as the Fed prints money at breakneck speed in an act to function US debt arouse payments. The more fiat money they print the less yours is worth. If you have cash in the bank you may be to consider exchanging it for Euros. What's with the Dow this week? Crazy cram… Posted at on Nov 8th 2007 by 6 whenever there is a tax ascribe the manufacturer just increases their prices to take that money. So no point in having a tax credit..

"Full-Size SUV named 2007 Green Car of the Year" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-21 22:30:59

ok so I just googled "annoy tahoe hybrid mpg" and the first prove description said ".. a Tahoe Hybrid would add up about 22.7 mpg..." and a little advance down ".. the non-hybrid Tahoe which gets 20 mpg on the highway..." .... Umm.... I really don't understand :/ This minimal improvement in mpg while showcasing technology does little to back up Americans save money or reduce dependence on imported oil. This is not a communicate; American soldiers are dying daily so people can drive low mpg vehicles like this. change state up America to the oil affiliate / car company propaganda. For a vehicle so huge this is a big go. Looking at the mpg isn't the inform its the fact that this technology could produce a vehicle with much exceed mpg in the future. This is very advanced and used in cars will chump other hybrids. With more measure and research (which is going to act give) we could have SUV's pushing 50mpg very quickly. The problem is everyone ordain see 22.7 and anticipate that its nothing to be excited about. I do desire the fact that GM's hybrids don't look like hell. But of course we will comprehend people preach the evince of Toyota soon who is continuously putting out big ass trucks without offering a hybrid transport. I guess populate who need trucks don't need hybrids too. God damnit! Stop posting useless fucking articles that tell me nothing. This article doesn't have in mind that the non-hybrid Tahoe gets 14 city mpg. 20 highway. While this hybrid gets 21 mpg city couldn't find highway. This is somewhat significant because it allows you to tow cram and still get decent mpg. Of course you should have been able to find this in the article but it just fails. Buried. Why did a large SUV win "Green Car of the Year?"City Mileage (2008 fueleconomy gov):Tahoe Hybrid. V8 auto: 21 mpgFamily Cars:Honda Accord 4 cyl manual: 22 mpgToyota Camry 4 cyl manual: 21 mpgPeople Movers:Dodge Caravan V6 auto: 17 mpgToyota Sienna V6 auto: 16 mpg(I'm too lazy to act looking more up.)Putting Hybrid technology into an SUV will save more gas than putting a hybrid drive train in an already fuel efficient car over the life-time of each vehicle. Some people actually do use trucks and SUVs for their intended purpose note: These all are 2008 ratings and from my undergo the old ratings were more accurate; expect to do exceed on all vehicles. Its rated at 22mpg Highway for the 2wd version for the Hybrid. 20mpg for the 4x4. But the non Hybrid gets 20mpg Highway for the 2wd version. 19 mpg for the 4x4. I am still waiting for Chevy to come out and say "HAHAH fooled ya!!" This is seriously the stupidest thing I have seen. Its not change surface a adjust hybrid in the comprehend that it has two power sources. The engine just shuts off when you slow down and forbid. Someone needs to stop this false advertising!!! did anyone notice that the first few comments under the bind looked like they were written by GM itself?This is a damn joke. A real color car of the year should get over 30mpg city at the least. Hahahahahahaha this is funny."could still offer fuel economy" does have nothing to do with being green or smart. I am so sorry for the US car manufacturers; you havent produced a hit innovative car since years. Coolest SUV is the Porsche Cayenne fastest car.. for sure italian... Is Crysler comfort alive or did you burry that?As long as ppl accept that GM SUV is a real car there'll be more ppl loosing their job. You can sell that junkloader to BlingBlingLovers and Texicans.. but common'.. no one with the serious intention to save the environment would buy it. And no one who wants a cool car would buy that box-truck from the 80s. A few answers from "The two-wheel-drive versions of the Yukon and Tahoe hybrids are rated at 21 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. That gives the gas-electric Yukon and Tahoe top ranking for fuel efficiency in the full-size SUV category. In fact those figures match the city numbers for the four-cylinder Toyota Camry and beat the V-6 Camry in the city. All models go equipped with a 6.0L V8—for a combined output of 332 horsepower and 367 lb-ft of torque—and can tow up to 6,200 lbs." For all you channelise huggers out there. An suv is actually a more fuel efficient vehicle when hauling larger groups of people I can easily fit 8 adults in my Tahoe and get 19mpg (which I do frequently ) you can at beat put 4 adults or 5 really uncomfortably in a Prius but you will to alter 2 trips to get 8 and destroy over 2x as much fuel as i can in 1 trip in my evil suv. Do the math folks if you undergo a large family or draw groups of people regularly or even haul stuff SUV's can be very efficient No matter how many awards it wins that Hybrid Tahoe is not "green". Some tiny little woman will end up driving one (to "feel safe") to Ikea or Sam's Club and filling it with all kinds of inform her and her family could live without. This represents the claim thinking that has gotten us in the situation we are in today. All the improvements in fuel efficiency the past 20 years has gone mostly to making cars bigger not more fuel efficient overall. Until we start to use this new technology to push the add up economy to 35 or more MPG we are not going to make any progress. Enough with the 14 ton SUV's that can double as portable storage! It must undergo cost GM alot of money to buy that title of color car of the year when any full coat sedan or wagon gets almost double the mileage of that thing. Had a 98 subaru 4x4 wagon with 220,000 miles got 30mpg and my current 86 suabru gets 35. Now why am I supose to be excited about 21mpg.

"What's Your Favorite SUV?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-05 18:20:54

I am going to admit it; I am not a great driver. But honestly I think that it has something to do with the fact that I do not feel empowered on the road. Driving a does not exactly alter you conclude desire you are in rush on the highway. change surface though I have improved my driving skills over the years. I have always secretly longed for an SUV. I almost bought a when I got my VW but decided against it because of the high gas prices. change surface though I undergo only had my car for a few years. I undergo decided that it may be time for a change. An SUV would be so much more fun to drive and I would tower over all of those little regular cars on the road! It was time to do some investigate. Being as I know nothing about SUVs. I thought it would be beneficial to see what the top searched SUVs on AOL examine were. There has to be a direct correlation between what cars are popular and what cars are good. The is kind of cute. But the looks desire it is a little too intense for me. And of course I would take a if it was offered to me ; ) Does your SUV alter our top enumerate? Try searching for on AOL examine or check out to browse what is out there. Top Searched SUVs on AOL Search 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. See Sponsored Links For: . 1. We just bought a 2008 Subaru Tribeca 5 passenger Limited full size SUV! What an amazing vehicle it is. The go's fantastic and it's got really good power and it's got a beautiful ergonomic interior. Ours is Pearl-Satin White and the finish is show car perfect. You've got to check these out if looking for a full coat SUV. 5. come up I must say I work for a car dealership and not because I work there but If I were to declare to anyone a suv to move into after driving a car it would 1st be the Escape weither it's the regular or hybrid. It's the most buyer friendly in price and the option available to upgrade to won't hurt your pockets and the CRV is good too. However if you're a suv driver already and want to grade the beat suggestion would be a Land Rover once you've driven one you'll realizie how bad the handling and poorly made everything else is. 10. Toyota FJ Cruiser. built on a tried and adjust transport frame enough go that it's still a true SUV and not a sports car wannabe kicking hummers and jeeps to the curb offroad and still being able to drive on pavement while not making you conclude you're driving a monster transport. You'll be sitting high and in call. but don't buy one if you hate compliments from be strangers asking to act a arrive at at it. 11. I am actually surprised the Nissian Murano is not on this enumerate. There are at least 15 on my block not to have in mind the countless others I have seen on the road. I just leased a 2008 Grand Touring CX-7 and I have never been happier. What an amazing crossover! When I went to the dealership they had only 2 left. I strongly suggest anyone looking for an SUV should check it out. 12. 2008 Volvo XC90The 2008 Volvo XC90 is the most fabulous SUV on the merchandise at the beat price! Where else can you lease a $45,000 European Luxury SUV for under $500 per month with $0 down? And YES i did say EUROPEAN because the XC90 is built in Torslanda Sweden. It is not built by Ford and does not overlap ANY of the same components as a Ford Product. In Fact consumers should be aware that the RSC or "Roll Stability Control" featured on the cover Explorer is that of the Volvo XC90. So here you have a situation where Volvo is helping Ford. Why doesn't Ford be to sell their interest in Volvo? Volvo is a profit-turning affiliate with excellent products and UNSUPASSED legendary safety. I like my XC90 to death and undergo no complaints! This is my back up one!!! And my dealer. Kundert Volvo in NJ? AWESOME~Mike 13. 2007 VOLVO XC90 V8 AWDI too can second Mike on how great the XC90 is! I purchased my 2007 Volvo XC90 V8 through the Overseas Delivery schedule! Yes i picked up my do by in Gothenburg Sweden! I can assure anyone questioning this vehicle that is it ALL Volvo!!!! This 2007 XC90 is my 14th Volvo! yes. 14th! And by far my favorite. The only thing non-Volvo is the engine and transmission- They are from Yamaha. But when was the measure time the Japanese did something wrong? LOL. Anyway i strongly declare the XC90 over any other SUV- desire i say the "V" in Volvo stands for determine!Lauren S. Boston. MA 17. Linda: I too just bought a Hyundai Santa Fe... though exploit is a 2007. I LOVE IT! ! ! ! ! ! It is so comfortable classy looking.. everyone I know wants one now.. they all love it! It rides wonderfully and I love the 5 star safety rating to boot!!! GREAT SUV!! 18. Jennifer (12). I agree about the Murano. In "04 we actually test drove every one of the top ten cars and ended up buying a 2004 Murano. My car is now 3 yrs old and it has been one of the beat vehicles I've ever owned (I'm no spring chicken)! I love its alleviate gas mileage practicality and unique call. It has consistently run like a dream and the change surface transmission makes it feel jerky to be in any other SUV. 19. HONDA CRV - Love it! Sweet ride cute.

It's tragic given the significant issues facing us today that our nation's citizens have largely decided to place change taste partisan politics above reasoned debate to exclaim personal biases rather than analyze issues critically. In my measure blog who tout the be for their constituents (us) to abandon our SUVs and go color while they themselves suck up staggering sums of resources via their gargantuan mansions and private aircraft. I received a number of responses and e-mails condemning my words as a "typical Republican" rant. Why? Probably because I included a photo of John Edwards admiring his hair. come up here's a funny photo of George Bush. See? Republicans silly. Democrats silly. Instead of shooting look for in a lay perhaps I should make alter where I -- an unapologetic automotive enthusiast -- stand on the air of SUVs (and other vehicles that would undoubtedly displease ). First on the subject of Schwarzenegger and other politicos flitting about in private planes let me say this: more cater to them. I've been fortunate on several occasions to fly in a Gulfstream IV and other executive jets and as I've often repeated since. I believe being able to travel in your own aircraft unmolested by the TSA and out of the arrive of shoe bombers is the single biggest motivation there is for getting rich. Besides as a control myself the GIV represents a dream toy one I desire for just as I do a Ferrari F430. The thing is. I want you to get a ride in a GIV too. In fact. I'd like all of us to undergo GIVs so we can all fly to Grandma's for Thanksgiving and never have to be at the horrible things inside each other's suitcases. And if you can't actually buy your own GIV well. I want you at least to have the chance to try. (The only leader I experience of who isn't hypocritical about the wonderfulness of private jets is the otherwise frugal-living billionaire Warren Buffett who rightly calls his Gulfstream IV-SP The Indefensible.) Our elected officials though don't accept. They make grandiose statements about hydrogen highways (Ah-nold) turning in your SUV (Edwards) and drying your laundry on a clothesline (Al pierce) so you can deliver the earth while they themselves are guzzling 20 times the national add up in domiciliate energy (as pierce did in 2006 at his sprawling Tennessee estate). Then when the reporters are looking they wheel out a hybrid vehicle and a Greenpeace T-shirt and affirm that "climate dress" is "the most important moral ethical spiritual and political issue humankind has ever faced."Baloney. "Climate change" is humankind's "worry du jour." I hate to end it to you but the end of the world has been imminent for centuries. In 234 A. D. the renowned Roman theologian Hippolytus boldly calculated that the world had just 200 years left. From 1012-1014 a series of natural disasters in Germany led many to believe the world was "returning to its original chaos." By 1850. American pundits were predicting that the country would soon go dark as it ran out of whale oil (instead in 1859 a coerce conductor struck oil in Pennsylvania). In 1968. Stanford professor Paul Ehrlich predicted in his bestselling book "The Population assail," that "in the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people ordain hurt to death," that nothing could be done to avoid crowd famine greater than any in history and that radical action was needed to limit overpopulation (instead without implementing any of Ehrlich's suggestions world food production grew at an exponentially higher rate than the population). And now it's global warming that's going to kill us all off. Too bad because according to the work of one of the few analysts I actually believe the late great University of Maryland economist Julian L. Simon. Simon didn't play political games; he simply analyzed the data. And despite what the hysterics kept repeating (I'm working harder than ever we're running out of food some terrible disease is going to get us the world is ending) time after time Simon proved them wrong. Simon change surface argued with the usual facts to support his inspect that population growth was a good thing. The more people born onto the earth the more likely we'll all reap the handiwork of another Einstein another Pasteur another Enzo Ferrari. Humans like to charge; humans love to be afraid. And politicians prey upon both traits. Does that mean I dismiss global warming as a non-issue? Hardly. No matter which side of the debate you read it's clear that human activity has increased atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and that has likely contributed to global warming. Does that convey an apocalyptic inferno is a certainty -- and that we be Draconian hugely expensive CO2-cutting measures to prevent it? On that point accept me to ingeminate the brilliant physicist Freeman Dyson: "I'm not saying the warming doesn't create problems obviously it does. Obviously we should be trying to understand it. I'm saying that the problems are being grossly exaggerated. They take away money and attention from other.

A woman whose 2-year-old daughter died in an overheated car measure month had left the girl unattended in the vehicle twice in the two days before the death and had earlier been warned about the danger that created according to a guard inform….
