I believe people should leave other people’s choice alone, just like I don’t see any Hummer Drivers Rolling up to the Gigantic McMansions on the Hollywood hills for telling these multi-millionaires that they are distroying the world with the huge houses……….all over the world. Well, if everyone of them live like Daryl Hannah, I won’t have any beef with them telling me I should be more environmentally concious. When they stop flying on Private Jet, start living in normal houses like the 1500 sq feet home for a family of 4, then, they have the right to ridicule others for distroying the world, otherwise, they should just shut up.

Not that I don’t think it is important to protect mother earth, but spending all the energy to vilified our Fellow Drivers on the road is not helping. Carbon offset, that is just another way of telling the poor that………..the wealthy can pollute more because they can afford it.

See, we have two children, boys, 12 and 14. The youngest is around 5′7″ and the oldest is 6′2″. So, obviously we need more room for them than most of your two-child families do. And, although I’d like for our van to have better gas mileage, for a six-cylinder vehicle it gets pretty good mileage.

All I’m saying is, a mini-van may not be considered by most folks as a sexy car to drive, but it has at least almost as much room in it as your average SUV, with much better mileage, at a MUCH cheaper price.

Well, they’ve finally succumbed to the pressure – maybe. Sales are down 27% and GM is considering killing the Hummer H2. You knew it had to happen. Especially after those commercials showing the uber-mommy-bitches mowing people down in their Hummers

When we bought the second Liberty, my only concern was making sure she was in something AWD for our long, icy winters. A second Liberty was the furthest thing from our minds, but 0% vs. a 6.9% lease rate unfortunately ruled out many other options. About 1 month after purchasing the second Jeep, we started to feel guilty. After these leases run down, we’ll likely do some rearranging to become a one vehicle household. The bright side of our two-Jeep debacle is that we’re making a conscious effort to go more green to offset the damage we’re doing.

I’d have to see it in person, but if they are really keeping the Euro interior which the saturn.com website seems to be showing, then it would be a nice change of pace compared to typical GM plastic.
