 E 85 capabilities is a bad move!  Far more costly to produce for less efficiency.

Hopefully it won't be to late for American auto makers to produce vehicles that people need. 

Consumers are demanding more efficient vehicles.  Behemoth hybrids that still only obtain 20 mpg.  Not a good idea. . . . ..  A smaller 6 cylinder dual mode hybrid powerplant in the Acadia, Enclave etc would definitely attract more buyers than 20 mpg out of a Tahoe.

Toyota and GM need to produce a Matrix/Vibe hybrid with available all wheel drive.  Get adventurous and mate it with a low sulfur diesel hybrid powertain.  The Technology is already available.......
