Cadillac Escalade Hybrid Pricing Announced

Are they joking??

One of the most irrational and one of the worst cars I have ever witnessed

There is enough space in the boot to fit all your dignity. You won't need any of it while driving this embarrassment.

so now you can have a large luxury suv with better mileage then a small economy suv! Common sense move. That also being said, I'd like to see a 50% improvement in a compact car with the addition of a hybrid powertrain.

Oh come on! All the American (c)rap stars love these cars! They have to be great!! /end sarcasm. This is a pile of junk. They'll might as well debut this vehicle being blown up and burnt to a crisp. Then for good measure, throw a hand grenade in there just to get rid of the debris.

Well in the city you get an improvement of 66.7% in fuel economy as the non hybrid gets 12mpg, on the hwy you get a 0.05% improvement. As impressive as the city consumption improvement is 20mpg is still crap, and 12mpg in the non hybrid is unexplainable in this day and time.

The prickscalade. there is nothing good about that kind of cars even if they would have a tuned up hairdryer along to their superlazy V8. Anybody who buys one of those has some issues downstairs. I hate every one who can even picure themselves in a prickscalade, H2 or any of the sort. Cut the sales of the digusting monsters.

The Americans will love this thing. All they care about is their status, and right now your no body unless you drive a hybrid, no matter if it sucks. This will sell out. I think GM is trying to sell cars and they know this will sell. End of story.

Escalade rocks. I want one.

honestly, we arent dumb enough to by that lead zeppelin, 71k so you can feel slightly better about yourself at the pump. rich people arent hurting with rising gas prices.

no one here in the states is dumb enough to by that lead zeppelin. the dumb housewife in california might buy so that she could feel slightly more "economical" at the pump.

lol at everyone criticising this vehicle, in the city it gets better mileage then every 2008 BMW, Every 2008 Porsche (save the 2.7L boxster and Cayman 5spd only not the 6spd), and every 2008 Mercedes (save the new ugly E320 bluetec). Haha and thats with it's "superlazy v8". And then there is the prick comments, lol who are you kidding, porsche mb and bmw owners are renown to be the most arrogant automotive enthusiasts in the world. And then you ppl go on to criticize this vehicle to being a pimpmobile which happens to be the furthest thing from an arrogant white buisness man, haha if you think about it, all them pimps also drive blinged out german cars as well. That being said, I like the looks of this SUV about as much as I do it's MB competitor... not very much at all.

Blanket statement there Joe! :) I have a 73.5 911T that I love dearly. I also own a 2007 BMW 328i. I make comments on worthless pieces of metal, aka The Crapscalade. This thing is an abomination and an afront to automobiles everywhere. Those "pimps" you mention that "bling out" German cars are much more likely to get one of these POSes than a German car. I'd still like to see one of these explode into a million pieces, then urinated on to make a statement to GM on not building any more of this crap. This is downright ludicrous. I do not even like the colours these bloody things come in.

Worldcarfans has the most ignorant and misguided posts of any car forum I have ever seen. Its ridiculous

Buy a Mercedes GL diesel with much better mileage, higher tech and luxury, better brakes and all the way from Germany and it is still cheaper that a domestic brand

I am averaging 27 mpg in town with less co2 emissions. The GL has a 7 speed transmission vs chevy 4 speed, second row side airbags with curtain airbags vs chevy curtain airbags with no side torso protection in the second row, also MB has strict roof strength standards that chevy and ford are fighting against in court now. If you notice how small the brake rotors are vs german you can see why stopping distances have been a problem with the Escalade and the small rotors look so silly with large wheels. Too expensive low tech

this is actually a pretty good idea. now we have a choice if we want a v8 or a hybrid =)

It makes you wonder if the 6.0 hybrid could fit in another GM engine bay configured with enough space to handle it? The Holden/Pontiac G8 V8 hybrid would be a cool concept to see at Detroit: just to see how much farther the engine could propel a car without suffering from the weight of the Escalade. How about the new "BRX" with a choice of the 3.6 DI engine or the Hybrid V8 only. Or replace the Trailblazer SS with a hybrid V8 Acadia Denali (or Traverse SS)...

Anyone buying this car probably doesn't care about gas prices.

ooohhhh yes...i've seen this. yeeyy, finally; a hybrid SUV from the yanks. it has a humongous, underpowered 6.0L engine, (which drains the whole oil reserve in the gulf of new mexico) and now they stuck a tiny little engine in the back..and there u have. an american HYBRID...pardon me, an SUV hybrid. the 50% improvement in the mpg, that's a fat lie. ok? excuse but i think the audi Q7 V12 TDI which also is a 6.0 L has a better mpg, andd hhaaaasss a lot more power. of course its not 70 grand, but they say it is luxury. i dont see anything luxorious at this piece of junk. what's so luxorius in having the gear stick at the steering wheel like a 40 year old WARTBURG (ps. if some of u don't now what a wartburg is, pls google it..especially u yanks). plus the outside looks like a damn brick. pls believe me, if this car would look nice, i mean really nice...i wouldn't care if it ran on diesel, petrol, gas, hybrid, ....urine...chineese slaves...but, it's not. im sorry, im really sorry it is not beautiful, it is not luxurious.
