I remember when some of the reviewers poked fun at the excessive use of HYBRID badging on these GM trucks from the late 2000s, but I never remembered it being quite this bad. Not the best pic, but can you spot all FIVE of them? Don’t forget there are 3 more on the other side for a total of at least 8. Is there a better vehicle to scream “Ecologically Sensitive Gangster?” I submit that there is not.

I’d laugh, but considering that Roush put its name in about 15 places on the outside of my car and probably another 15 places on the inside and under the hood, I really don’t have a lot of room to talk.

I always liked hybrid Escalades in theory, but I’d never own one. lol

The original ones were even worse, they had a giant “HYBRID” decal on the bottom of the doors. My dad almost bought one.

I’m at work, so I can’t post a picture.

Oh, it’s there...the reflection of the white stripe just hides it a bit. It’s also on the fender vent, the C-pillar, the top of the rear window, and on the rear hatch. Insane.

Oh wow, hard to believe a reflection could hide such a big decal.

These are ridiculous. I’m glad my mom put her foot down on that purchase.

It took two white strips and a blue one to hide it. This is no job for an ordinary stripe.
