GM Brings First U.S. Hybrid Sedan to Market

March 20th, 2007 | Posted in: General, Latest News

With the impending arrival of the Saturn Aura Green Line, General Motors will bring forth the first U.S. hybrid sedan to market. This will compete with the very popular Toyota Prius. And when tax credits are figured in, the Aura will also be the least expensive hybrid sedan on the market.

The vehicle already began shipping to dealerships last week. Unfortunately mpg estimates are considerably less than the Prius 30 vs 50. GM is also planning to produce a Malibu hybrid later this year.

Between these releases and our upcoming Volt, we are likely to see a plugin hybrid Vue.

These vehicles represent the first shift of GM towards their green future, and we applaud them.
