Chrysler has a similar vehicle - a hybrid Dodge Durango coming out for 2009. The system was jointly developed by GM and Daimler/Chrysler. The Durango (and upscale sibling Chrysler Aspen) will use the MDS HEMI engine - so you get electric to get you going and move you around town, a 5.7 HEMI to tow with (I think I saw a tow rating of about 7500 lbs) and the MDS engine to give some non-towing highway economy.
And all with a nice (i.e. BIG) pricetag.
