Tell GM to Offer Real Hybrid Solutions Today
Target: G. Richard Wagoner, Chairman and CEO of the General Motors CorporationSponsored by: Union of Concerned Scientists
Hybrid technology has the potential to provide us with cleaner, more fuel-efficient options in every vehicle class, as exemplified by the Ford Escape Hybrid, Honda Civic Hybrid, and Toyota Prius.
On March 20, General Motors (GM) vice chairman Bob Lutz admitted at the New York Auto Show that not making a vehicle like the Prius was "a mistake."
Yet GM continues to make that same mistake. Its new "two mode" hybrid SUVs, the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon Hybrids, actually feature larger gasoline engines than most conventional versions of these models. The electric motor provides an additional power boost but only a modest gain in overall fuel economy.
Please write to chairman and chief executive officer, Richard Wagoner. Let him know that General Motors can only be a true market leader if his company uses hybrid technology to its fullest potential.

Since we can't seem to make gasoline only vehicles that have decent mileage, more hybrid technology is so very important.

As a corporation, GM should be more responsible to lead the automotive industry in new fuel technologies by making ALL vehicles hybrid. Why should GM make a gas only engine available when mass production of hybrid engines or any other viable fuel alternative engine would surely draw the attention of those of us who are looking to replace our 20mpg Luxury cars. Make an impeccable quality product for boomers who seek an elegant looking auto without overteching do-dads at an affordable price, and you know the dollars will follow!
