I'm not too proud to admit that I subscribe to the dead tree edition of the
magazine from which that article about the Cadillac Escalde EXT came. Here
is another perfect example of a case where the paper edition (not free) has
more content than the (free) online version. The print edition contains the
exact same article, however with a few additional photos and two large
tables, one detailing the specifications of the vehicle, and another listing
the Car and Driver Test Results for the vehicle. In the Test Results box
they list both the EPA fuel economy (also listed as 12 city/16 highway) as
well as the Car and Driver observed fuel economy, which is listed as 13 mpg.

About the (other) current Cadillacs, yes they are a far cry from those
classic tail-finned wonders of the 50s and 60s, however I think they are a
definite improvement compared to those really sad Cadillacs of the 80s
(anybody remember the Cimarron or that late 80s Eldorado that could have
been mistaken for a Toyota?).
