Here's Cadillac's most recent entry into the large truck/small planet category of vehicles:

It weighs 5900 pounds, has a 354 hp engine, and costs @ $49,990. Article doesn't mention MPG.
 
"Cadillac's brand manager says, 'Cadillac research showed that there was a real need for the EXT.'  A real need for a Cadillac pickup? Really? If so, then here are a few things that I really need: An air-conditioned front yard. Iguana-skin patio furniture. Stigmata. Mint-flavored Drano. Gold-plated roof gutters. A 190-hp MerCruiser SaladShooter."


What a wonderful review this is! Everyone should read it. This
is to car reviews what that brilliant NYTimes review of Brotherhood
Of The Wolf is to movie reviews. Lovely.

Cheers!
