I can just imagine all the gangstas and rap artists who buy these ridiculous pigs rollin around on 28″ rims with 28″ tall H-Y-B-R-I-D emblems. That’ll look real cool.

Shudda been a diesel…and those EPA ratings are for a 2WD model…who the hell buys a 2WD Escalade? Can you imagine getting stuck in the snow in a 70K SUV?

What’s funny is that with its hybrid status, this ‘Lade will be able to use HOV lanes in some metropolitan areas. Suckas!

Isn’t it just cheaper to buy 3 hybrid emblems and a few stickers to a regular Escalade?? The people who drive them want opinions to be in their favor, not gas mileage. Stickers and emblems do the job.

Stupid. 80k is Benz territory.

it needs to say “hybrid” in more places…I only count 8 badges and stickers.

The number of Escalade shoppers who give two spits about fuel economy?
This isn’t an oxymoron.
It’s an oxynimrod!

It looks great, and 20/21 doesn’t sound too harsh of a MPG.
For you people out there making fun of it with your fast food restaurant humor, the whole large SUV segment is full of fuel-inefficient drivetrains. Thats the whole point of this hybrid attempt. Its exactly like this: 5 fat men sit at a restaurant. One gets up and denies to eat. You people make fun of him.

and what’s there to be proud of? just for zero emissions? ooooooooooooo that justifies this retarded cost- you could be driving other economical hybrids, but just because it’s an Escalade? will there be a CTS-V hybrid? and how much will that be? 100k?

By: bcjohnso99

Anti-believer,

… yes but this ‘lade could drive clean over either of your Hondas with zero emissions…
… and with little damage as it doesn’t have the ‘hoe’s low skirt.

Even in its hybrid iteration, Escalade is still a schmuckmobile.

$72k ain’t the cheapest hybrid? Hmm, that’s news. Thanks LLN. Why hasn’t anyone made a DIESEL-HYBRID? I would think that would boost MPG even more than a gas-hybrid.

Each release of another version of GM’s SUV just seems like a waste.

Starts at 71K???

I could buy me a Honda Fit to communte in and a Honda S2K to drive on weekends and still have change left over for gas.

well… 20/21 is a decent rating for something so monstrous. I still think it’s a case of too little too late.

The typical Escalade Hybrid customer: “I’ll have the double bacon cheeseburger with extra cheese, super-sized fries, apple pie…and a Diet Coke.”
