It's not actually a hybrid in the way you think, you don't plug it in and it doesn't have electric power only mode for around town.

You might want to check your figures on that.
Seeing how my husband drives a 2022 Escalade, I speak on good authority.
2022 Escalade
21 city / 27 highway
2013 Escalade Hybrid
20 city / 23 highway
I guess we will disagree on the definition of "far better." If the 2013 is still running well, there's no reason to upgrade for an additional 1 mpg. Drive it until the first major repair and then get rid of it.
11% better combined mpg in a gas guzzling V8 which requires premium fuel is far better by any definition. And a 10 year old bankrupt era GM Cadillac feels terrible. The new one is exponentially better. And I’m also sure that decade old Hybrid rig has already had major service is.
How much highway driving do you think anyone does around here? Can you get me a copy of the service records for Newt's Escalade?
Probably has fewer than 15,000 miles on it and he suckered someone else into paying for it.
Rich only keep driving an old obsolete throwaway truck like that if money is tight and they can't afford the newest one. Didn't he owe Tiffany's a ton of dough at one point? The GOP guru must not be very good with money.
Some of the wealthiest men I know drive older cars and trucks.
Bogus old money trope. Rich men and grandpas who drive flashy Escalades, Navigators and Range Rovers trade those things for new every 1-3 years. When you see someone holding onto a prior generation truck it's because money ain't coming in like it used to. It's no coincidence that Escalade was likely purchased new around the time Newt was riding high right as a POTUS finalist. His peak income year? Also when he traded up a house? https://www.businessinsider.com/gingrichs-modest-5000-square-foot-house-has-issues-according-to-interior-decorating-editor-2012-1

Bingo. It's truly amazing the level of stupidity I see here daily. My *husband* did the same thing for *me* the other day - I was driving and he got out to get coffee for us. And the other person who said that Gingrich would be mobbed is correct. This is simple common sense, something completely lacking on this forum.![]()
The people in the McLean Starbucks are going to mob has been Newt Gingrich? That is laughable. I might have "accidentally" knocked over his coffee.
Mobbed by crowds of very strong men with tears in their eyes, no doubt.

No, they're here. They simply want to trash Gingrich and wife for doing exactly what they themselves do. It's the DCUM way.
I don’t drink crappy coffee that tastes of burnt beans. Cheat on my spouse. Or drive a SUV favored by leaders of drug cartels.
