The only American built hybrid to be released next year is from Saturn. I would not subject buying American auto stocks for the dividends this coming year.

My family is already planning to buy a hybrid for our next vehicle. I just hate having to buy Foreign and waiting on a list for what ever I can get. Knowing my luck I will end up with the ugly lime green car.

Hey Lee, try again:

Please try again yourself Dr. Miller, the Escape, Silverado, and Sierra has already been out since fall 2004, while your own web link provided a links to my original source (thru Paul Harvey):Link

With a price tag of around $30,000 for the American modals, compared to $20,000 for the Japanese, (and a better gas mileage by about 30 mpg to boot) I don't think I will be buying one soon. Well I may consider the Saturn when released.

So please check out the sub link on your web site that I am providing. Let me point out the table on the right says when the models are available/released. Only the Saturn will be released in 2006. My original Sources are the same as yours: J.D. Power-LMC; Energy & Environmental Analysis (EEA), Inc.; manufacturer web sites. Updated 9/2/2005.

Though to be fair and with a little more research, the Mercury Mariner that was scheduled and reported to be leased late next year has been advanced to this year. Link

My first source was ultimately the same as yours. But while I said released, you seem to look at model year. But please don't expect me to do a four hour web search, to avoid a "try again" remark. I'm not in for a game of goucha, and my ears heard right when Paul Harvey used your link as reference to models released next year and the year after.

First off you "VERY" specifically said, "The only American built hybrid to be released next year is from Saturn". I just as plainly showed you there were other "American" hybrids being released this year. One went direct to GM's site and the other to "fueleconomy.gov"! Which in all actuality has nothing to do with Paul Harvey. Also the site you're referencing has a chart showing availablity dates. Since this is fall of 2005 all models for 2006 are "already" out. The 2007 models will be available in fall of 2006 which is next year. Which the chart shows a "bunch" slated for that release. You also missed a few....what about Nissan, Lexus or Toyota? These are from your chart on your provided link. "All" are made in America.

So please check out the sub link on your web site that I am providing. Let me point out the table on the right says when the models are available/released. Only the Saturn will be released in 2006. My original Sources are the same as yours: J.D. Power-LMC; Energy & Environmental Analysis (EEA), Inc.; manufacturer web sites. Updated 9/2/2005.

Last point. You better go back and re-read the GM site. From that page you can order your "2006 hybrid Silverado"! Just because a site was last updated in 2005 (GM) does not mean that the info contained therein is out of date. And just an fyi I never said anything about price or fuel economy. And really neither did you.

Playing Gotcha over a stupid release dates is silly. I have shown that the only American Car company hybrid being released to the dealers in 2006 is Saturn. If you want to continue this Gotcha game, go on. I gave you my reference (which wound up to be one of your references too), even after you requested it in a snotty manner. Sometime Dr. Miller you want to pick a fight using TRY AGAIN and YOUR WRONG over the simplest things, that just make you look obnoxious, obtuse and sometime hard for me to even want to post in other articles supporting you. You blame COL Gene of doing the same thing, when half the time your acting that way too, if not worse. Cool your jets man, this is only about hybrids.

You make a blanket statement. I show you where your wrong in your assumption, but now I'm "picking" a fight?

"2006 hybrid Silverado"! But the Silverado hybrid has been available on the dealer lots since fall 2004. That hardly counts as a 2006 release.

Hate to tell you this but, if you can buy a vehicle during a calender year that is considered a release. So in all actuality a "2006 Silverado" is a 2006 release. Now if you want to say "new" vehicle release that is an entirely different matter. And do try to use a spell checker....it's "Gotcha", not Goucha.

Hate to tell you this but, if you can buy a vehicle during a calender year that is considered a release. Don't play dumb, your pulling at straws here. Release means new types and models. Not just the same model with one more years slapped on it. Just stretching for a "Gotcha". Now if you want to say "new" vehicle release that is an entirely different matter. WOW, you finally get it.... It took you what, three post. And do try to use a spell checker....it's "Gotcha", not Goucha. Please when you can't get any Gotcha, lets fall back to spell check, mister spell right: Also the site you're referencing has a chart showing availability dates Hate to tell you this but, if you can buy a vehicle during a calender year that is considered a release. You have even lambasted others for the pulling same trick on falling back on the spell check card in the past. But now you are jumping feet first into the same hole. I didn't say anything about your spelling problems before, because to do so just stoops to a level not needed.

That's what I get for not running my spell checker and opening my mouth. Just checked...calender is actually spelled correctly! Just used the wrong word.

Main Entry: 1cal·en·der Pronunciation: 'ka-l&n-d&r Function: transitive verb Inflected Form(s): -dered; cal·en·der·ing /-d(&-)ri[ng]/ Etymology: Middle French calandrer, from calandre machine for calendering, from (assumed) Vulgar Latin colendra cylinder, modification of Greek kylindros -- more at CYLINDER : to press (as cloth, rubber, or paper) between rollers or plates in order to smooth and glaze or to thin into sheets

Now if you want to say "new" vehicle release that is an entirely different matter. WOW, you finally get it.... It took you what, three post.

It may have taken me 3 posts.....but can you point out where you made such a distinction during the 3 posts? And quite a "major" one it is at that.

The only(1) American built(2) hybrid(3) to be released(4) next year(5) is from Saturn(6). I would not subject(7) buying American (8) auto stocks(9) for the dividends(10) this coming year(11).

My family(12) is already planning(13) to buy a hybrid(14) for our next vehicle(15). I just hate(16) having to buy(17) Foreign(18) and waiting on a list(19) for what ever I can get. Knowing my luck I will end up with the ugly lime green(20) car(21).

1: Only: To mean single, not two or three but one.
2: American Built: Built by an American Company, not something who’s parts are mostly made in foreign countries and then assembled with in the boarders to the United States by a Foreign operated Company . Ford and GM are examples of American Built Companies. Nissan, Toyota and Lexus would not be considered in that category.
3: Hybrid: A type of auto mobile engine that uses not only combustion to move, but also other means of propulsion. This word it is to note the use of a hybrid engine within a model of car, because not all models exclusively use hybrid engine, and some models may not be limited hybrid engines.
4: Released: Made available to the public for the first time.
5. Next year: to designate calendar year and not model. That would be 1st Jan thru 31Dec of the year 2006, not 2004, fall 2005, spring 2007, but only the year 2006.
6. Saturn: Referring to the American Auto Company Saturn, not to be confused with the planet or mythological god by that name. The car referred to in this article was not built on the plant Saturn or by the god Saturn. Though I am sure at least one auto worker in the production of this car will dream of being a god once.
7. Subject was meant to be really suggest: an act of advisement, not a demand.
8. American: Usually People or Company born/started within the western hemisphere, though some exceptions may be made for people who have forgiven their past citizenship and completed the petition to the home security agency for citizenship.
9. Auto Stocks: A certificate of ownership for a Automobile Company, in this case an American Automobile Company.
10. Dividends: A portion of a Companies profits given to the owner (stock holder) of a Company.
11. This coming year: see number 5.
12. Family: usually consisting of a husband, wife, Children, uncles, nieces, ect... I this case it only refers to my wife and I.
13. Planning: to schedule or make preparations for a future event.
14. Hybrid: see number 3.
15. next vehicle: Not the present or a past owned vehicle, but future purchased vehicle after the presently owned.
16. Hate: Dislike very much.
17. buy: to purchase
18. Foreign: In this case anything not built by am American Auto Company. see number 2.
19. list: a group of names placed in order of when people awaiting purchase of a said item.
20. lime green: a color that was actually used on cars produced in the 1980s and US forestry service vehicles. Let it be note that I really do not think any auto company will issue a lime green vehicle unless a specific request has been made by a purchaser.
21. Car: usually referring to an Automobile of a specific design. (i.e. not a truck, SUV, van, station wagon ect...)

These definitions and footnotes are provide for those who have difficulties will reading comprehension or those who think Gotcha games over simple things makes them look smart to others, when it is just making them look like something else.

Does the electric engine kick on at low speeds or high speed, yes I could google and do the research but thought since you have done the research you could help with that one question please.

It is strange how the American companies keep thinking bigger is better. Sure they sell, but they didn't learn anything from the 70's. They were too late trying to catch up then and too late as well again. I know gas was somewhat plentiful til recently, but still I think some just buy the big ugly trucks for status. I guess if they want to pay the price that is their problem. However American companies aren't trying enough to produce a good car with good gas mileage, or at least that is not the primary goal.

not so dyno.. the civic hybrid looks just like any other civic. you, you, hybrid racist you! heh
