You will be able to buy a half ton pickup from GM, rated for 6000 lb
towing capacity, in the 2008 model year.
Whoah. I'm getting a huge raise? Or hitting the lottery?

You as in the group sense, not the specific. Prices reputedly "start"
at under $40,000, and if I'm not mistaken that's not an exceptionally
high price for a new full size truck.

Chuck do the math. Compare the cost of a hybrid vs. a non-hybrid over
150,000 miles. Oh, and don't forget about replacing the batteries at
100,000 miles.


Anybody not driving the most basic Japanese car available for 15-20
years has failed to "do the math". For most of us, the cars we drive
are chosen as much because we like them as they are because they were
the cheapest transportation we could find.
