Re: Why doesnt Hummer make a hybrid?
OK, sorry, I don't have time right now to read the whole post but from what I've read in the past, hybrid electricity and water (fording ability) don't mix. Sure, put hybrid in Tahoe/Escalade or anything else, but hybrid in hummer probably takes away from one of its primary design characteristics.

I think the fording ability would be greater for example Subs use electric motors underwater, electric motors can run with no O2 that would be needed for combustion engine. So with the right component sealed up & out of harms way you could damn near run that thing underwater and the only snorkel you would need would be for yourself to breathe.
