The Philly Car Show; 2009 Philadelphia Auto Show Begins
Saturday, January 31, 2009 14:33The 2009 Philadelphia Auto Show starts today, January 31, and runs until February 8, 2009 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Besides all the cool cars and autos from around the world which will be presented at the Philly Car Show, they’ve also got some great events going on.
They’ve got a whole list of really cool Green Technology Cars they’re going to be spotlighting over the course of the next week:
Perhaps the most surpirsing on that list is the gigantic Cadillac Escalade SUV! Who ever thought a huge SUV would be discussed in the same breath as fuel economy? But Cadillac says the new Escalade Hybrid will deliver more than a 50-percent improvement in fuel economy in city driving with its new fuel-saving 2-Mode Hybrid system. It’s still only listing at 20 MPG, but hey, that’s alot better than the miles per gallon the regular version gets! Since its pricetag is starting at over $70,000, though, you’re probably not worrying about saving a few bucks on gas if you buy it …

This year, like every other year, there are many exotic, vintage, domestic, import, and specialty cars on display. The thing that makes this years Auto Show unique is that the automotive industry is changing rapidly.

That escalade is pretty sweet but the price tag is *whew*…. At least there will be some savings for buyers; such as gas and insurance costs.

This was a great auto show. The Escalade was huge, of course, and I suppose the 20 MPG is an accomplishment for this vehicle but compared to other smaller cars that easily get over 30 MPG this is still not very impressive. The technology, however, is probably quite sophisticated. I wonder if it would be possible to apply the same or similar technology to smaller cars and really see a huge boost in MPG?

Dont believe that the Cadillac Escalade SUV is actually an economical car, have any one of you actually tried it for long enough to confirm how it could be ecomonical.

The Cadillac Escalade SUV as an economical SUV is really hard to believe. But if they can come up with one then that would be great.

With the way technology is growing even with the recession I’m sure they’ll come up with an economical SUV. Would be great if they did too!

Considering gas mileage requirements are going uop by 2016 (It was announced today), Cadillac is ahead of the curve. I believe trucks and SUV’s need to be at 30 MPG, so they have a ways to go.

The green cars are always expensive to buy, but if you keep them long enough you should be able to make your money back in a few years.

I’m actually surprised on the gas mileage that they’re getting out the new SUVs. I understand that they have to strip a lot of the weight of such a vehicle, but it still is an amazing achievement since a lot of them are comparable to cars.

greener automotive technology is the way of the future. Cadillac, Lincoln, etc have an opportunity to gain a competitive advantage in the automobile industry if they can learn to conquer this issue

Great site, nice to see that kind of mileage out of an SUV, one would think that these being bigger cars that they would in fact use more petrol/gas

Its great to see more vehicles going the green route. Its utmost essential at this point of time and in the future. Though the initial cost is high, the hybrid eco friendly car is certainly worth the money spent as the cost can be recovered over a period of time and also environment will greatly benefit from this. That said I still cannot fully believe that the Cadillac SUV could be that environment friendly, if it does then its a certain development in auto industry.
