Pacifica Hybrid on assembly line for next month delivery. 84 MPGe rating, 33 mi. AER



I'm pretty interested in looking at leasing one of these. I wouldn't qualify for the full $7500 (more like $3800) incentive, so maybe a lease would be the way to go.

This tester went 30 miles all electric and it still showed 8 miles range.

Autoblog said a company spokesman said it will get a 32 combined all gas EPA rating.

Overall a 566 mile range on a 19 gallon tank with still a few gallons left. I bet a few tricks and a hypermiller's touch would get over 700 miles using the whole tank.

When they announced this I was interested, I looked at the standard version and was very impressed. Now this seems like a no brainer. My wife would rarely need to even use the gas day to day, yet still great for family vacations.
