Hybrid SUV's are like tupperware containers filled with feces. There's no point to it and the end product is still shit.

no shit... I'm not big on the hybrid thing in the first place... I rented a prius just cause it was that or a cobalt.. decent little car... just odd... wouldn't spend the money for the Hybrid fad though... not when I can drive MY truck for another 20 years and probably cause less harm to the enviroment than if I bought a Hybrid and drove it for those same 20 years

well honestly... for the esclade though it's a good idea... I mean really... most esclades are for in town crusing... most don't use them to tow... and usually they have 1 to 2 passangers... so if you could get the Hybrid versions to get 35mpg in city... it'd be awesome.

more money for DUB Sixes!

I had a prius as a rental in ft lauderdale last year. I'd have been better off hitching a dead cat to a radio flyer.

well yeah... not much for power... but I drive a toyota pickup with 33's and I haven't geared it... so I'm used to a lack of power.

If someone is using an Escalade to cruise around town and bitching about fuel mileage, they're wasting far more than gas. They're burning off what precious few brain cells still exist to maintain a heartbeat and breathing functions. Higher brain functioning and cognitive thought are probably long since gone. They're at risk of dying a slow, stupid death.

If you're not referring to the song by War, then no, sorry. Hip Hop = Source of AIDS

how about one of the tracks by Sedrick the Entertainer on Nelly's first big album? "Rollin' around in a big body 'Benz on $2 worth of gas"
