One Year of Hybrid

Well it is almost a year since I bought my 2010 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid. And I still love it.

Last Friday my wife and I were driving down the Garden State Parkway edging along in bumper to bumper traffic. I had my windows down because it was a beautiful day. Along the driver side of me pulls a rival, high priced, gas guzzling SUV with a woman drving. She puts her window down to tell me how much she "loves" my Hybrid. She said she wants to now get one and get rid of her ride. I mentioned to her that what she was riding wasn't to shabby of a car! Then she started to talk about this enviromental stuff and Hybrids.

All this moving along at 5 MPH.

A few years ago, I probably would of preferred the sound of a powerful V8 over the hum of Hybrid, but times have changed. Besides being absolutely fantastic on fuel, this vehicle is a conversation piece. This woman on the highway was not the first person to comment and I'm sure she will not be the last.

Also, a year later it still drives like new. I always feel when you go to a dealer to test drive a car, they should have the vehicle you want with 50,000 miles on it. This will give you a real feel of how it will drive later on in it's life. After all, they all ride great with no miles.
