Anyone that owns a GM SUV knows that they depreciate 10x faster than you can pay them off!!!

I get 22mpg around town and 29-30 highway in my 2003 BMW which cost me $36k new! come on GM! And $15K extra for 6mpg? yeah, forget it. Go diesel and you would probably get as good mileage for a mere $3K premium.<br><br>If you are going to do hybrid or electric your over-paid MBAs should be able to figure the business model and the fact that you need 30mpg bare minimum, 40+mpg to make sense. like the other folks said: no reason to buy these hybrids at all.
