Apparently you are a pea brain because no other large SUV is even close.

“Added price and size”. What’s the different size? You guys saw an average of 20% better fuel economy. Are gas prices going up 20% during the time of ownership? How about this summer? 20% better range, 20% discount on fuel, it’s faster, has a decent tow rating. GM did a good job. BTW, the econo gauge swings in both directions. If you brake too hard it won’t regenerate, it’ll use the discs. If you floor it, the econo guage will swing in the other direction.

19 MPG on a $50,000+ vehilce….no one’s buying this GM sold very few units…and they call it Green !!

You are comparing apples to oranges. You still pay $50,000 for a Sequoia, Armada, or Expedition and they still only get 13MPG. The Tahoe Hybrid buyer is not a Prius buyer. and 7MPG is a significant improvement in my book for the same price if I have a family of 5.

That is true, a big heavy 6,000 lbs suv getting 19-21 mpg in city is very good. GM is the first full size suv to come out with a hybrid.

it would be alot higher mpg if it used the diesel engine that powers the refrigeration unit of the trailers that deliver your food to stores. the mpg isn’t any better than a 1/2 ton, 2wd, standard cab short bed pick up. with the small diesel it could be a 30-40mpg vehicle.

GM is going in the right direction but they missed the big picture. 20mpg isnt great no metter wat you tag that too. PERIOD. SUV, CAR….20 mpg is nothing to be exicted about. When they produce an 30mpg SUV. Then Ill say wow. But 20…lets be real hear folks

When every other full size SUV competitor(Toyota included) gets only an average of 14 MPG, it IS an improvement. Lets be real about what we are comparing. And the fact is that actual mileage in the real world has been reported consistently at 25 MPG city with this vehicle. Most Toyota/Honda V-6′s can’t claim this.

Honda V6 Gets above 25…I have ONE! But in any case i never said it wasnt better than the competion. Which really inst alot of. Considering that toyota and nissan jus started making BIG Suv. Most of the imports make cross overs which get in the low 20′s in da mpg. Which they arnt even hybrids. But 20mpg flat is no good. Rather its from toyota or gm
