Top 10 Vehicles Axed in 2013

Cadillac Escalade Hybrid

If the notion of an Escalde-branded half truck seems silly, you might be forgetting about its hybrid cousin. Every once in a while, you’ll see one of these rumbling past. And they do rumble. With a 6.0-liter V8, the “hybrid” gives this thing green car credibility to the same end that wearing a lab coat and stethoscope makes Patrick Dempsey a physician. Yes, it might seem “McDreamy” to think of an Escalade with mileage to rival a Toyota Prius but just like Hollywood, the real thing is nowhere near as good. Highway fuel economy for the Escalade Hybrid is rated by the EPA at 23 mpg.
