Just because everyone else it doing it...
doesn't mean its not a frickin' stupid idea. Chrysler, which Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler dropped like a hot potato due to its profitability, would like to introduce TWO HYBRID SUVS! GAAAAA!

The new 'efficient' hybrids are versions of the new Chrysler Aspen and the until-recently-defunct (at least in Canada) Dodge Durango. In case you're wondering, the Durango was dropped from the line up after gas prices spiked and no one could afford them, instead trading them in for smaller models. So what do you do to your gas guzzlers? Put a hybrid drive in them and make them more fuel-efficient - as in only sucking Abu Dahbi dry instead of Saudi Arabia. Like that's even an improvement in the grand scheme of things.
I also find it interesting that the post over at Crave refers to these vehicles as "full-size." Since when was "full-size" redefined to mean the same as "huge".
We now have not only debased science, we have debased the English language.
