Just a note about Hybrids--on 20/20 or dateline or one of those news programs-they did an independent test on the Hybrid cars and they wanted to know the true milage of the hybrid. They tested all of them, and only 10% got the actual mileage of what they said they would get. So that means 90% of the hybrids gave false mileage as they advertised. And of those 90%- more than 1/2 got only 1/2 the miles per gallon that they were supposed to get. So hybrids cost more than a regular car, and many don't get the actual milage they are supposed to get. I just thought I would throw that out there!!!! So you end up spending way more money!!!

And on the original note-- the Pontiac Torrent that just came out-got great ratings!!!! Feels more like a car, but suv suspension. Got more miles to the gallon than what they advertise!!! And very reasonably priced!!!!
