Aside from the Hummer, everyone has criticized it since its beginning for essentially starting the SUV revolution. It has been held solely accountable for global warming much like Marilyn Manson is responsible for youth violence. Well to all you environmentalists out there, feast your eyes on the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid. Due out early this Spring, the Escalade Hybrid will allegedly increase fuel economy by 50% and milage from 12 mpg to 18. That may seem marginal compared to a Civic Hybrid (which can achieve somewhere in the neighborhood of 60-62 mpg), but consider the differences, both engine and size. Also, think about how many of these trucks are on the road and how many people you know who want one.
