2008 Chevy SUV Hybrids
I'm tired of people trying to make me feel guilty about driving an SUV and to be honest I feel a little guilty using as much gas as I do. However, an SUV is such a wonderful utility vehicle that would require me to own multiple vehicles (thus being worse on the environment) than just owning one that consumes a little more than the average auto. Thanks to Chevy it may be a moot point.
Chevrolet announced that they will be releasing the Tahoe and Yukon in Hybrid versions. This means that I can now have the towing power and capacity to do what I normally do, but now with a environmentally conscious engine!
It's gonna cost me though, in the neighborhood of $50,000+ but at least it's an option. Check out what the boys at the Boston Herald have to say about this leap in hybrid technology.

Yep, as a father of 4 I know exactly what you mean. We’d love to have a smaller car but we can freakin pile everyone up in the old Suburban and a bunch of other junk too and off we go. In my opinion too, the Chevy Suburban actually gets pretty good gas mileage considering its a 5.3 liter V8.. much better than the old models.
