stronghold ◊ 2008-01-13 02:33	That's funny.! (Just as bad as the 5.7 litre Diesels used in Cadillacs for 'Economy' in the early 80's )
Neptune ◊ 2008-01-13 02:34	Practically Useless. Due to the very oversized (and unsightly) lower front bumper valance, which GM claims to help the Tahoe’s aerodynamics, results in being terrible off-road. The valance is too low to achieve optimum approach angles ... Simply stupid.

Neptune ◊ 2008-01-13 04:19	Did they average 23mpg on the open highway or in stop/start driving?
MBSL65fan ◊ 2008-01-14 01:27	This probably won't work out.
