Default Re: Hybrid H2 on its way!!!

Let me re-post a reply to why there's no Hybrid H2, directly from CLAYDOG

To improve fuel economy, even with a hybrid drive, you also need to reduce weight, improve aero, and reduce rolling resistance. The Tahoe hybrid has had a lot of changes from the standard Tahoe (aluminum hood and hatch, narrower and harder compound tires, ect?) that are needed to make the Hybrid drive see gains big enough to notice.
