I agree that they are close in spread, but the LTZ is fully loaded while the Cadillac comes in base with the 57K sticker, no nav, sunroof, wheels, dvd, all the goodies etc. My husband and I recently purchased a 07 LT3 at 47K (we didn't like the 20 inch rims on the LTZ and thought them way overpriced and ugly), and we priced out a similarily equipped Cadillac, and with the same goodies it would have been around 62K. 15K difference was too much for us, especially for essentially the same car plus a little chrome and the different engine.

Many would argue that it is not "essentially the same car" if it has a different engine... but I agree with you, it's not worth that much extra money to me either. The 5.3 is powerful enough for most of us, and more efficient. And Cadillacs are a little too "extroverted" for my taste. The interior is what really counts, and the new Tahoe is very nice. I might go for a Yukon Denali, you still get more power and a little more unique styling, but not quite as "bling bling" as an Escalator.

"Escalator", gee, thats a new one. But what about simply "Vulgar", the word we used to use in describing tarted up things?

The Escalades that are currently shipping to dealers are "all up", white diamond (optional color) ones stickering at just under $67k...ouch, that even hurts to type...
As silly as this sounds, it almost seems irresponsible to market a vehicle with 403hp (who really needs it, it is a truck afterall) , full time AWD (here in Connecticut, I put my truck in 4wd for the first time on Sunday since I took delivery of it in May of 2005) and an epa city estimate of 13mpg...All of this fueled with 91 octane...What am I missing??

The Esc is for the "upper teir" who don't care about costs involved. If the costs bother you, I'd suggest not looking at the high end. In our free market, the pricing will always be in the range of "What the market can bear" Usually not more and rarely less.
 
Currently due to the new nature of both the Tahoe and Esc, they will be priced high. Demand calls for that ability to occur. Next year, expect the rebates to come in again, and soon you'll be able to purchase a new GM SUV for the normal $10K below sticker like you've always been able to do. (that is if your a good shopper.)

Wow Stakeout-
I thought that the new Yukon I looked at was absolutely gorgeous! The interior was the nicest that I had ever seen on such a vehicle. (right up there with a Touareg, and nicer than anything I've seen from Japan). I loved the use of wood grain. The texture on the leather was rich. An overall elegant and functional interior.
 
But- there's no accounting for taste- and if you didn't like it, so be it. I won't criticize your taste, but just wanted to let you know that there are others out here who's jaws dropped at how sharp this new Yukon was.

I sat in three different Yukons this weekend - very impressed with the new interior and dashboard. Far better than previous generation and leaves Ford with a LOT of catching up to do. Will have to wait till drive one, but everything I've read in the automotive press says GM has raised the bar above everyone else in the full-size SUV category with the '07.
