Here's a photoshop of a CTS I did back on May 17th of 2007. I did this before the new CTS-V was even released. I attached a pic of my chop and a pic of the original.
My wife mainly drives stop & go with speeds over 30mph. When I was home I noticed that the electric motor stopped around 15-20 mph, then it went into hybrid mode. The other thing is to get 30mph under all electric...you'd have to have a very flat road or a decline...any incline and it seemed...
I loved it...for the 11 days I drove it. I'm back overseas and my wife has been driving it. She Loves it too. We traded in a 05 Honda Odyssey van for it. The only drawback is there is no room behind the rear seats, where as the Odyssey had a good 2-3 feet back there...and no more power...
The only difference I can see in interior space is under the 2nd row of seats. The hybrid can't have the bucket seats and has to have a 60/40 bench b/c the batteries are under there.
It was two adults and two children under 9. I was doing the posted speed limit ranging from 60-70 mph on average for highway and anywhere from 35-50 mph for city driving.
I bought it during the Employee Pricing Sale at the end of August. We paid $41,000.00. I'm not sure of the MPG, because I'm overseas. When I was home and drove it..I was averaging 22 MPG in the city. Driving on the highyway, I was getting 24.5 MPG.
I realize that, but a couple pounds won't affect gas mileage...that's like saying you have the capability to carry 8 passengers, but if you carry more that two you defeat the purpose of the hybrid due to the extra weight.
Does anyone know if any company makes an aftermarket (Billet or mesh) grill for the Tahoe Hybrid? The lower half of the grill is different from the regular 'Hoes, so I can't get an LTZ grill from the dealer.
Thanks
