This is good contrarian thinking with the math to back it up. If cars were stocks, I would be buying Escalade and selling short Prius. There's a $6000 price swing between these two vehicles in the last year. If you traded your Prius for the Escalade now, you'd be getting 32,500 miles worth of free gas for your Escalade at $3.50 per gallon. Last I checked, 32,500 beats 40.
