In the case of the Prius, the MPG is so good and the price premium compared to other family sedans is modest, which explains why it sells so well. I almost bought one back in 2004, and I wish that I had. But for the Escalade, I just don't understand why anyone would buy it.

If you're arguing against hybrids, they I notice the only factor you've considered in cost. Cost would also be a good argument against buying a sports car, getting a radio, buying winter tires... Cars more then most items we own are also social statements about our style and values. My brother in law owns a suped up early-model Mustang that he's probably invested $100,000 into, but he's still prepared to tell me that owning my Prius doesn't make sense because of the financial terms you've raised. If buying a car was ONLY about cheapest cost... well, I don't need to finish that thought ;) I’m not able to tell if you’re arguing for or against hybrids, or simply making a point.
