Question Any two-mode sales???

Hi,

I know GM is selling it via boutique sales approach but I would have thought there would have been a public announcement when the first ones actually were bought. So far, it sure has been quiet.

I wanted to see one, so I stopped by the local Chevy dealer in South Tacoma.

He didn't have one, ... and didn't know when he would get one.

There are several Tahoe Hybrids on eBay Motors for sale, so presumably they've arrived at dealers.

All are fully-loaded 4WDs in black, scattered across South Carolina, Texas, Indiana, Michigan, and Missouri.

edit - And there's a black Yukon Hybrid in Montgomery, Alabama:

Talking Re: Any two-mode sales???

Excellent!

I'm just surprised there hasn't been a press release showing the first buyer getting the keys. I must be getting old.

Jeez! ... and I thought Toyota's badging was gaudy.

There is a white Yukon for sale here in Simi Valley, CA. I was the first to look at it. It was a 4WD fully loaded with nav, dvd, etc. I wanted to test drive it, but they said serious buyers only. It's sticker was $53k but it had a special "Dealer Market Adjustment" label on it for an extra $5k. It would have been over $60k with everything. Not worth it.

I hated all the huge lettering and badging too. Looks ridiculous.
