I disagree with the premise that an Escalade is a likely car to be driven by a "tree-hugging" liberal. I am not even certain that a truly compasssionate conservative would drive one.

The most likely liberal vehicles would be Volvo wagons, Toyota Priuses, Honda Insights, perhaps even a Ford Focus or VW bug.

A libertarian would be likely to drive a 67 Dodge Power Wagon with a winch on the front, painted with four colors of primer and "Gloryhole Mining: Tonapah, Nevada" stencilled on the door.
