EnG – Mystery vehicle revealed

July 26, 2009 in Troll Stuff

Thanks for all who played along with my little guessing game.
As you may recall, I wrote that I was driving a unique vehicle this past week, and I invited you to guess the identity. Here were the criteria:
1. It is a gas-electric hybrid.
2. It was manufactured by a division that was a part of General Motors at the time of manufacture.
3. It has some of the best seats that I’ve ever encountered on any car. I still like the seats in the 9-5 a bit better, but these are darn good.
I put about 1200 miles on this vehicle over the course of the week — much more than typical. I drove from Nashville to Louisville, Kentucky, then from Louisville to Indianapolis, Indiana, then from Indianapolis to Chicago, and then on a loop through Chicagoland that included St. Charles, Illinois and Gary, Indiana. St. Charles and Gary are about 65 miles (100 kilometers) apart, meaning that I did a fair amount of city/suburban driving within that stretch. I got intimately familar with it, in other words.
Brian and JK get credit for “correct enough” answers. Well done!
For the answer and photos, take the jump!
