Ok so the whole fuel economy thing has finally made its way into the last possible auto segment; the man’s vehicle group. Yes now even manly men are aware of their fuel economy and its impact on the environment. Well GMC is the first company to address this portion of our population. New for 2009 is the Yukon which weights almost a ton and yet can achieve that magical 20 MPG mark that SUV’s were never meant to obtain.

This remarkable feat was achieved by designing a 2-mode hybrid system. The Yukon has the ability to run on electric power alone up to 25 MPH which does wonders for the in town fuel economy. When more power is need the gas engine simply kicks in. And the Yukon also benefits from cylinder deactivation technology which essentially turns the V-8 power plant in to a more economical 4 cylinder when less power is needed. This hybrid can still tow 6,000 lbs. plus seat 8 in the process. The future of manly cars is looking good for the environment and wallet!

Visit theI-10 Auto Mall to see a nice selection of hybrids for sale in Southern California.  Also Iowa BPG has new 2009 Yukon Hybrids on sale now!

The new “luxury” 2009 Infiniti FX50 is billed as a luxury SUV but it is much much more than that! Sure the yuppies will buy this car. But it is those of us who are informed that really appreciate this MONSTER. These 3 little digits tell the whole story: 390. That is the amount of ponies raging under the hood! Almost 400hp in a luxury soccer mom yuppie suv, it’s not fair…I want one. Not only is the engine a beat…but this SUV is AWD. So controlling this auto is no problem. And speaking of performance this puppy is loaded. Continuous dampening Suspension, Intelligent All Wheel Drive, and Solid Magnesium Paddle Shifters….I just wet myself! Maybe the best part is the 21-Inch Enkei Rims and high performance Tires.
