Car Forum / Ford / Ford Cars / May 2008Flextreme Saturn: A new hybrid
General Motors introduced a new hybrid solution that is technologically different from the existing projects developed by the global automotive industry… http://www.thecarsblog.info/2008/02/flextreme-saturn-new-hybrid.html Yawn, Tell us about it when it appears on the showroom floor and we can buy it. Most of these concept cars are merely 'my-dick-is-bigger-than-yours" engineering efforts, designed to prove that the "can" build it, NOT that they have any intention of "actually" building it. Ted General Motors introduced a new hybrid solution that is technologically different from the existing projects developed by the global automotive industry… http://www.thecarsblog.info/2008/02/flextreme-saturn-new-hybrid.html I agree. I looked at the CNN article... http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/wayoflife/01/14/saturn.flextreme/index.html Sounds all well and good but we'll never see it for a normal price tag. Stop showing off what COULD be done and just make the damn car. I need it today, not in 2011... maybe. > Yawn, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > global automotive industry… > http://www.thecarsblog.info/2008/02/flextreme-saturn-new-hybrid.html Actually GM has a better hybrid on the market today than any of those offered by any other manufacturer. The GM hybrids have the two electric motors as an integral part of the transmission, making hybrids available with most any engine on most every type of vehicle >I agree. > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >> global automotive industry >> http://www.thecarsblog.info/2008/02/flextreme-saturn-new-hybrid.html > Actually GM has a better hybrid on the market today than any of those > offered by any other manufacturer.

It is a really cool system. GM also developed other hybrid systems, like the ones that power buses around cities. Jeff >> I agree. >> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >>> global automotive industry >>> http://www.thecarsblog.info/2008/02/flextreme-saturn-new-hybrid.html They might have the best Hybrid system out there, but so far they only put it in gas guzzling cars. There should be a Cobalt Hybrid. |
