Video: Comparing apples to oranges; Cadillac pitches Escalade SUV against Mercedes C300

Could this be one of the worst automotive comparison's so far this year? Cadillac has decided to pitch its Escalade SUV against a Mercedes C300 compact executive sedan in a drag race.

Obviously, the race isn't fair as the Escalade has a bigger engine (6,200cc vs 3,000cc) and the fact the two vehicles aren't in the same segment. And despite its bigger engine, bluff aerodynamics and extra weight, the gap between the Escalade and C300 is something of an embarrassment.
