<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">General Motors has shown the first of its new full-size sport-utility vehicles, which it hopes will sell as well as the previous editions. A host of upgrades comes with the new vehicles, including a stiffer body structure, a more powerful range of V8 engines, and the most aerodynamic bodies in the segment. The first of the sport-utes off the block is the 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe shown here. It features a powertrain that, with a cylinder-deactivation system, posts an average fuel economy of 20.5 mpg ( with four-wheel drive, 20.1 mpg ). The Tahoe will be the first of 12 distinct models to share similar running gear, including a new Suburban, Cadillac Escalade, GM Yukon and Hummer H2. Of the four V8 engines available in the Tahoe, the most powerful will be a 6.2-liter V8 with nearly 400 hp </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
