Is a "Green SUV" an Oxymoron?

Review

After having owned the Yukon Hybrid for about a week, I have found the Yukon fun and easy to drive with excellent gas economy. The hybrid takes some getting used to--it sounds like a golf cart when starting out. After considerable research, we replaced a 4WD Tahoe and the difference in the mileage is startling and pleasing. We anticipate the difference between the conventional and hybrid will be obliterated in three years or less because of the gas. The interior is comfortable although the seats are harder than the older Tahoe. We took out the 3rd row of seats (not getting them was not an option)for more storage on trips. Overall, an excellent vehicle.

Favorite Features

Quiet ride, good mileage, spacious interior, good towing capability, fuel management and hybrid features work flawlessly

Suggested Improvements

Better management of storage space beside the driver; make available an option of no third row seating

Review

I've only been driving the Yukon Hybrid for about two weeks now, and I must say bravo for GM. It's so quiet, you barely hear it coming. The hybrid drive shift's so smooth you cant feel it shift.

Favorite Features

Standard DVD based navigation system, and back-up camera. Heated seats, 4WD.

Suggested Improvements

2nd row heated seats would be nice
