Hybrid SUV
Is this an oxymoron? Made me chuckle. But I know what you mean ND: I have an hour long commute and my truck is lucky to get 12 mpg. It must cost me $80 a week just to go to work.
Also, I'm confused. Neither the Highlander nor the Escape seem to be hybrid vehicles. Was this a test? Also, also, neither seem to be as expensive as you quoted.
Edit: Of course, after I posted, I found the Highlander Hybrid and the Escape Hybrid. Nevermind me.
They have hybrid variants of both of those vehicles.

GM still isn't really to market with a Hybrid SUV, are they?

They have a hybrid pickup truck. Which is kinda' lame-ass, as the way they did it produces very little fuel savings.
Yeah, I saw the Hybrid truck, it's really for a different reason, it's marketed to contractors and such. You basically get an AC generator built into your truck. Kinda handy.
End of next year, ND.
Yikes. Okay. If my money situation stays as good as it's been for the past few months then I may be ready do make a move in the late fall. Was really looking at the CRD Liberty, but they can't be sold in CA due to a messed up CARB regualtion. They are super low on CO2 emissions, but can't pass the CA NOx emissions. Frustrating because they really are a clean emissions vehicle. It's also the fact that diesel in the US produces more pollutants that diesel in most third world countries.
Can you tell the high gas prices are really starting to chafe?
