I'm with you Checkers. I can't believe GM could be so dense as to think there is a viable market for such a vehicle. It's almost as if they are trying to come up with something that will fail. And fail it will. By 2012, sensible car manufacturers will be doing exactly as you suggest - making diesel electric hybrids.

Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love,
to respect and be kind to one another,
so that we may grow with peace in mind.
