FIRST LOOK: 2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid
I don't get it. The regular Yukon I get, because it's about towing, off-road ability, and high-ridin' style. But the hybrid Yukon has a limited towing capacity, lowered ground clearance, and tacky add-ons. It's like... well, making a gas-guzzling full-size SUV more efficient, while taking away the advantages of a gas-guzzling full-size SUV. And the Yukon pales in comparison to the Acadia/Enclave in terms of space and luxury. That said, 24 combined MPG is impressive for a 3-ton SUV, even if it's a bit pointless.

Where've you lived?
'89-'06: Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA ... which is kinda pathetic, which I hope to qunituply pretty soon.

H-h-hhh-hot. I love how it looks under the setting desert sun.

FIRST LOOK: 2008 Saturn AURA Green Line
You're right. The AURA Green Line is slightly more compelling now.

FIRST LOOK: 2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid
Right technology on the wrong vehicle. It won't be until 2010 when GM releases its first full-hybrid car.

FIRST LOOK: 2008 Saturn AURA Green Line
That's 25/36... no wonder why they didn't tell us. 4-cylinder performance with 4-cylinder fuel economy for 6-cylinder pricing

FIRST LOOK: 2008 Saturn VUE
It's not bad. There are touches of Koreaness and cheapness to it, but if the pricing doesn't change, I think it'll be very competitive.

Releasing a hybrid... without saying its MPG figures.

2008 Ford Escape
Tooooo bling. I prefer the satiny Mariner.

Ewwww... looks like a Nissan Monte Carlo.

2008 Cadillac DTS Platinum
The DTS plastic is slightly better than Impala/Lucerne plastic. It's similar to the Escalade upper door panel stuff.
- Escalade EXT-A three-ton, $54,000 mullet

2007 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
Nice Chrysler Eos.

New Chevrolet Ad Campaign
The ideas are all pretty lame and meaningless, IMO.

Diesel Question
In CA, I wouldn't hold your breath. Tier 2 Bin 5 is incredibly expensive to meet.

CONCEPT: Ford Mustang Giugiaro
I think it's gorgeous.

photos of HHR fall edtion
It would look nice with the standard 16" LT polished wheels, which aren't blingy like the chromes or boring like the painted silvers. The black chrome exterior trim does de-bling it nicely.

CONCEPT: 2008 Chevrolet Sequel Fuel Cell
Nice... though what I'm really excited about is their upcoming plug-in hybrid, which is even greener given current hydrogen production possibilities.

Does this have the IRS the spys were speculating?

2008 Cadillac DTS Platinum
This DTS would make a great car for those who liked the old LS430, IMO. Its engineering might be dated, but it offers comfort, room, and isolation for $20K less.

2008 Cadillac XLR Platinum
I like the XLR exterior, but its interior, depreciation, sophistication, and performance relative to the cheaper Corvette makes it difficult to justify.
