Take A Test Drive in GM's Plug-In Two Mode Hybrid Vehicle

This car was supposed to be released as a Saturn Vue in 2009, then in 2010, then as a Buick when Saturn was sold and now it is uncertain since the Buick model was axed. Maybe it will become a Chevy or GMC?

The concept is fairly lame and EV mode is limited to 10 miles traveling less than 40 mph. The driver in this video, Lyle Dennis, states that accelerating above 25 mph causes the engine to kick on. Hard to tell what GM is trying to accomplish with this technology.
