I think the Caddy will be offered as a hybrid too, just with the standard body work instead of getting special bodywork like the hybrid Tahoe will get. From what I understand, CHrysler is also going to be using the same hybrid system in the Durango/Aspen as well as BMW and Mercedes. Supposedly the four companies worked together on this design. They're talking as much as a 40% improvement in mileage in all of the vehicles that will get that system:eek: I'm kinda curious of how the vehicles build off the patern set by the Volt Concept Car will end up doing. In some ways it's almost a cross breeding of desiel/electric locomotive technolagy (especially the new Genset hybrid switchers that the railroads have been buying!) and 2wd RC car and truck single speed transmissions. Anybody else have the South Park episode where the boys try cross breeding a pig and elephant come to mind on my last sentence?
