i think until there is no fuel left or the world's gas guage says "5%" people won't change their habits. especially north americans, there's some kind of "i should have the right to do whatever i want, regardless of the outcome" mentality. look at the previous posts - americans (and some canadians) consider driving a vehicle of their choice a right.

with fuel prices continuing to rise simple economics will start weeding out the SUV drivers - it'll become too expensive to operate. and frankly, as i mentioned in a previous post - why would anyone want to pay more for gasoline, instead of using the money for movies, fun, beer, etc? that's really beyond me.

sometimes economics helps move people in environmental directions whether they like it or not.

A voice of reason, and it's someone from Oilberta to boot.

Just another nail in America's gas-guzzling coffin. What are these companies thinking??? When the backlash against these wasteful vehicles really begins, Americans will turn to fuel efficient (and mostly foreign) hybrids and small cars. The Japanese are already 10 years ahead in that department.

GM needs to get on the ball and create a Prius killer, or die a slow death.

Really? Chevy makes family cars. What family with more than 2 people can fit in a Prius? Not everyone lives in a city - us rural folk need real vehicles as well. Now what I want is a hybrid Silverado - if I can jump from 18 to 28 MPG in my truck, I can get 55% better mileage, which means I'm filling up less than half the time. The difference between a 50MPG Prius and 40MPG foreign non-hybrid is nowhere near as great.

The zealots out there that want everyone to drive some tiny little "bug" car are missing the point completely.

looks aight to me, better than the last one anyways. I can't say i'm a fan of this segment of vehicles. At least with a yukon, or a tahoe, there might be maybe a good 20 percent of the owners who actually make use of the vehicles capabilities once in a while... I have yet to see an escallade towing a boat or a camper or filled with camping gear or heading onto anything but a clean paved road. At least with a GMC or a Chevy you could pretend you might need a truck like that...

I would never buy an SUV, but if I had to I would go with a Range Rover - better both off road and on than American SUVs, which are good for towing but lack real off-road capapbility.
 
nice, just noticed the vents on the front fenders. i love those things... pretty much any car that's got a vent on the side with a bar along it... its a sweet car. so this thing's playing the association game pretty well. They did a good job i'd say overall, taking the new GT900 and making it a cadi, though just like any of GM's badge engineering, the rear end ain't distinctive enough.
