This is from a recent NY times review of, ahem, the Escalade Hybrid.
Not a glowing review in the slightest (hmmm, who saw that coming?), but I found one of the author's lines about the EPA funny enough to repost here:
"Bizarrely, the Environmental Protection Agency does not provide mileage estimates for the four-wheel-drive Escalade Hybrid because its weight vaults it into the category of heavy-duty trucks, which need not be rated.
This is like McDonald’s adding a low-fat burger that has no calorie count because the F.D.A. says it’s too big to be classified as food."
