Hawaiian Chevy Dealer Attempts To Crush Honda With Suburban, Fails

BanSUVs — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 19:25:26 +0000

A Hawaiian Chevrolet dealership setup a jacked-up Suburban to crush a vintage Honda Accord to send a message to anyone buying Japanese. The message became somewhat cluttered when the tiny Honda broke the SUV.

James Severtson, the general sales manager of Island Chevrolet in Hilo, Hawaii, hired a Chevrolet Suburban monster truck to drive over a used Honda Accord before a large crowd in order to highlight the importance and strength of American automakers. Instead, Severtson highlighted domestic quality issues when the truck blew a hydraulic hose and started leaking fluid after its first pass over the Accord. A few hours later the truck was repaired and the Accord, which proved to be too tough a competitor, was replaced with a Hyundai Excel.

This time it went off without a hitch. Let that be a lesson to you. If at first you don’t succeed go to the White House for help try, try again.

London already charges a tax, known as a congestion charge, on almost all vehicles that enter central and parts of west London. Certain vehicles, such as those hybrids or eco-friendly fuel cars are exempt. Livingstone’s most recent announcement, however, vastly increases the charge for the highest polluting vehicles.

Vehicles in band G, those that emit more than 225 grams of CO2 per kilometre, will pay a whopping £25($50) every day to enter the congestion zone. This will mostly affect heavy 4×4 vehicles. Most other vehicles will continue to pay the daily charge of £8($16).

GM Expands SUV Recall

BanSUVs — Wed, 28 Dec 2005 12:38:02 +0000

Over half of a million vehicles in six states may be recalled due to possible antilock brake corrosion! Included in the recall are the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL from 1999-2002. This is on top of the nearly 800,000 vehicles from 14 states originally included in the recall in August.

Could you imagine having a six thousand pound monster plowing into (and over) you at full speed, unable to brake?!? Can they possibly make these vehicles any more dangerous? Thankfully, the brake problem is being addressed. The next things that need to be addressed are the gross overweight issue and extreme over-waste issues!
