Besides a few of their large SUV's, what cars do GM sell that are hybrids?

I will agree that when (if?) the Volt comes out that it ought to sell very
well and will be a much needed improvement over the existing Japanese
hybrids which rely far too much on their gas engines. If GM could have
released the Volt earlier this year, when gas was over $4 per gallong, they
would have sold every single one they rolled off the production line. A car
that used zero gas for my commute to/from work, but still has a gas engine
for long distance traveling, would be freaking nirvana!
