Meaning that in Michigan it's fashionable to waste gas?

I like the idea of the Hybrid Escalade, even if I'd never own one myself. When they put two mode into the Malibu, they'll have something going there for me.

Oh sweet mercy tell me that the Hybrid lettering is just for the auto show car...
They could have done a million things that could have gotten this hybrid idea out better, but they did this.

Meaning in Michigan we drive whatever we enjoy. If you enjoy driving it, you're not wasting gas.

Were they sure they couldn't stick more hybrid badges on there somewhere?

Again, it's quite ridiculous that GM's only two-mode hybrid system is available only on expensive fullsize SUVs and not their affordable, mainstream cars. In fact that's pretty bad with crude nearing $100 a barrell.

It will haunt them, I guarantee it.
