Cadillac

Cadillac apparently thinks its customers are rodents. They'll run to flashy, shiny objects and do anything for sex.

Utility and valuable helpful luxury be damned. The people want big motors and pretty colors.

Achieving a grand 20/21 mpg the escalade hybrid is truly, well, a joke. Not as bad as this one though. The Lexus gets better mileage (slightly), but it's a Sedan. My Buick is competitive. My 1996 Buick. At least the escalade seats 8. Not that folks who can afford an $80,000 car will ever have 6 children or 6 friends willing to accept a ride. Sorry, was that a nasty generalization?

Max Rider Capacity:
Honda Odyssey 7 * 21MPG = 147MPG (per rider)
Escalade Hybrid: 8 * 20.5MPG = 164MPG (per rider)
Chevy Express: 15 * 14MPG = 210MPG (per rider)
Prius: 5 * 46MPG = 230MPG (per rider)

Why aren't they shipping hybrid minivans and passenger vans? Am I just not noticing these hitting the market? Like this one? (Japan). 40MPG out of a minivan. That's 280MPG per rider.
