GM's Hybrid SUV

There is some progress with the US automotive industry in lowering greenhouse gas emission, eventhough small at this stage. Here we have it, a hybrid SUV. Rick Wagoner (CEO - and that's his real name) has officially confirmed that General Motors is working on a hybrid version of Cadillac Escalade SUV that is set for release in late 2007. According to the corporate press release, the heavy-duty two-mode hybrid transmission will be similar to those used in a Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon SUVs. I could find any details on milage.
