Oxymoron: Escalade Hybrid
I used to see how much work went into hybrid power systems every day – the R&D department used to be located right next to my office, until it got too big a couple years ago and moved into its own facility. And American car makers are just starting to see the light? Timbuk 3 this is not.

the krauts have been slow since WW2. Too bad everybody thinks its ‘all-american’.
I think the Germans thought they were immune because of their love of diesel; guess they thought that came out of a different hole in the ground.
The Americans aren’t late to the game though, they just licensed the previous gen technology from Toyota. Matters not from the ‘green’ perspective though; the car that uses half as much fuel gets driven twice as much.
