No dual mode hybrid cars for GM?
Never a dual mode Malibu, or other car?I'm not a fan of big SUVs, but my test drives of the Chevy Tahoe hybrid have left me quite impressed. While I don't advocate big SUVs, the technology powering GM's dual mode hybrid vehicles is quite remarkable. I just wish it was in pickup trucks and cars, rather than large SUVs that most consumers really don't need.
Fortunately, GM will put this hybrid technology in trucks soon, a very smart hybrid application. Unfortunately, this technology will probably not ever find its way into GM's cars or sedans. Yesterday's AutomotiveNews claimed that, currently, GM has no plans to make such hybrid vehicles. And, even if they did, it would take at least two years to roll out.
The future of hybrid cars, as far as GM is concerned, is either E Flex, such as in the Chevy Volt, or a lithium-powered BAS, or mild hybrid system.

General Motors are unquestionably well known all over the world, and most importantly whatever kind of vehicle one thinks in one’s mind, absolutely can get from General Motors. I wonder how exactly they get familiar with people’s thoughts. In spite all of this, why can’t GM have hybrid technology in their vehicle?

Intriguingly, the hybrid drive in one of the vehicles -- the diesel Opel Astra -- is mounted transversely, driving the front wheels, while the second -- the gasoline-engined Graphyte concept SUV -- drives the rear wheels through a conventional drive shaft-differential, demonstrating the flexibility of GM's approach. Finally General Motors deserve to be the greatest.

it's coming to the chevrolet tahoe and gmc sierra, no? both are pickups. also to the saturn vue...which is relatively small - like the honda crv.
i literally mean hybrid cars. the dual mode hybrid powertrain is already being sold in the tahoe and yukon hybrids, which are hybrid SUVs. it will soon be in the Vue hybrid, another SUV, although a reasonably sized SUV. then the dual mode hybrid technology will make is way into full-sized pickup trucks.
HOWEVER, it will not make it into any sedans, midsize or economy cars.
