This is going to be one very fast SUV considering it has 700nm of torque!
Remember Autobild says the BlueTech is 11% more efficient than the Lexus Hybreds.
Far better looking than the Esclade imo..   |
The Bluetec looks like a mean machine...the Escalade looks like a converted GMC truck (wonder why...:-)))))
As far as a 50 state ready Bluetec in the US...look for sometime in CY 2008 maybe. The government has to approve the catalytic system with the urea and that could be a long term process. The engine is not the problem anymore...it is the urea system that is under scrutiny I think.
