Most Prius' I see driving around are FLYING past me on the road. I believe that the typical Prius driver wants to get better fuel economy, but still wants air-conditioning, plenty of seating, etc. In short, being green without making any other changes to their behavior.

Yes, same here. Thats what Ive thought for years as just about every Prius Ive seen is just flying down the road and through town. Makes me wonder if theyre really getting much for fuel savings. Then again most of them are here to spend wastefully anyway.
This is the first Ive heard of the Escalade Hybrid too. And I first saw the commercial the other night as well. At least its not limited to a Caddy, it can go into any other GM with a similar platform.
I wouldnt want to think about the repair cost on that motor either. Would probably be cheaper to just drive it around as a non-hybrid.
