    so I went to the philly auto show on monday and saw the nissan cube in person.. i think my friend summed it up best when she said "its a freakin spongebob car!" very odd looking car.. very cartoony.. the powder blue color they had didnt help

    in other news... i didnt sit in a single other car that i could picture driving.. just could not get a comfortable driving position in anything.. everything from chevys and subarus to bmws to infinitis.. everything seems to have that bucket effect.. seems like companies are more and more worried about exterior appearance and driving comfort is being sacrificed.. could just be me though.. i have friends who think the VX is the most uncomfortable thing in the world to drive.. where as it feels perfect for me

    also thought this was funny.. i was curious about the cadillac escalade hybrid fuel economy.. on the window sticker it said... that the vehicle was exempt from emissions standards... WTF why bother making a hybrid if the fuel economy is STILL so bad its too embarassing to show

    edit.. just looked at their website.. it gets an estimated 20/21 pretty useless when you consider the fact that their comparisons in its class get 17-19 mpg and they arent hybrids.. they dont even bother comparing highway fuel economy.. yep i think that thing is about as good for the enviornment as toxic waste.. which is what the batteries will be (which are as big as the rear seats!).. and starting at 73,500.. its clearly a money saver with gas prices so high
