Escalade hybrid: totally pointless
It's exciting to see pickups and other work vehicles starting to embrace hybrid technology. Because, while you probably only use your Hummer to command authority in the suburbs, some people rely on these larger trucks or SUVs for the livelihood.
Like rappers, mobster's wives, or loaded soccer moms who watched one too many episodes of The Sopranos -- all of whom really need their Escalade to make ends meet. Could you imagine shooting a music video or picking the kids up from practice in a Mazda CX-7? Ridiculous.
Fortunately, these folks now have a slightly greener option -- a hybrid Escalade! The new, eco-friendly Escalade gets a whopping 18 mpg in the city (up from 12 mpg) -- because GM automakers know that high fuel prices and environmental concerns aren't "a fad."
Granted, over time those 6 mpg while add up. But if you're really interested in the environment, just drive something else.
