Escalade hybrid nears launch
It could be the biggest oxymoron in the car business: the Escalade Hybrid. The folks at GM are gearing up to launch the machine this month, claiming a 50 percent increase in fuel economy during city driving for a relatively small price premium over the standard model. The Escalade hybrid boasts high-class styling and amenities riding atop GM's advanced Two-Mode hybrid technology, which it co-developed with BMW and Chrysler.
