Chrysler to make hybrids with Hemis
Give me a break. This is why Detroit auto makers are dying. Putting "hybrid" on an SUV is just putting lipstick on a pig. SUVs don't just waste their own gas, they waste everyone else's. And it's not just an environmental issue, either. It's a "How many Iraqis per gallon does your vehicle get?" issue. The difference between 15 and 19 MPG is like the difference between taking your leg off at the upper thigh or just above the knee.

The closely related Hemi-powered Durango and Aspen are estimated to get about 15 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving, according to the EPA. That would increase to just under 19 miles per gallon overall in the hybrid versions, according to Chrysler's estimates.Back up, say that again? You're using 19 MILES PER GALLON as a SELLING POINT? "Marlboro Lights! ONLY HALF THE CANCER!"
