...touting the fuel efficiency of the Cadillac Escalade hybrid. I understand that putting a gas-electric hybrid engine in any vehicle, no matter how inefficient that car is, reduces its carbon output. I really do. I get it. The SUV that once got 10 mpg now gets 20. That's fantastic. It's great. In fact, it's so great, it reminds me of the story of the guy making minimum wage who wises up and stops making four daily trips to Starbucks. Now he just visits twice and only plunks down $10 a day. Yeah. He's still going to go broke. So's the planet, if that's our idea of an automotive revolution.

ReplyDeleteOh, wait, wait, I agree with you, John. And peope wonder why they're going under?
There are two distinct groups that GM is working for with this niche market concept: 1)The pot dealer from the earlier post that is doing well on his untaxed wealth but still wants to hug a tree and 2)Presidential Motorcades that need the 5,800 lbs of towing to move this behemoth with Armor plating and bullet-proof tires to be green without sacrificing security. You cannot tell me that the Secret Service wasn't drooling for one of these bad boys.
ReplyDeleteI agree...no wonder that they are in dire straits.
You know how hyperbole-prone people type LOL but they really only chuckled a little? No, I think I guffawed at that one, Diehl.
