GM is unveiling its Concept GMC Denali XT Hybrid. It’s a Flex Fuel, 2-Mode Hybrid with Active Fuel Managment. As Jalopnik.com notes, it’s very reminicent of an El Camino/Caballero.

It’s clearly a striking vehicle. But it’s also a bit of a far-out concept – GM is usually more reserved with its concept vehicles. This is a bit strange though, as is much of GM’s energy efficiency work.

Even in their website, they make no claims about expected fuel economy. Why go through all the trouble of shoving all of this fuel saving technology in a concept without at least speculating on MPG performance? It’s 326 HP number is pretty good. But I need more details.

My hope is that this concept is just a prelude to putting these technologies in more deserving existing cars like the GMC Acadia/Buick Enclave/Saturn Outlook.
