When GM said 20 MPG, I assumed that they meant 20 MPG HIGHWAY. They have really delivered if this really gets a combined mileage in excess of 20 MPG.

They should have 6 spds from the launch. That could add .5 MPG or so. Then another 25 percent increase from the hybrid system, this should definitely take the full-size SUV crown (okay, it already has the crown, it should destroy everything else). Even loyal Ford and Dodge buyers will have to take a second look if Tahoes get 20-26 MPG combined city/highway, while Expeditions and Durangos are getting 15 or 16 MPG combined. Ford and Dodge simply made their SUV's too heavy, a fact that cannot be undone until the next full makeover.
