Granted that the 67% gain in mpg is great for the Escalade it shouldn't be sold in limited numbers. If they can offer a hybrid Escalade what about the rest of their vehicles. Thank you mavinwy for at least using a SUV for it's intended purpose instead of these "soccer/hockey" moms that drive most of the time alone and at most have 2 or 3 kids in the vehicle. I'm not opposed to driving a large vehicle when the situation calls for it, but when 95% of the time it's just extra space then it's a waste. If those people just bought a smaller SUV that got better fe they would be able to take the extra money and easily rent a larger vehicle any time they were going to need it.
