Replying to: british_rover (Jun 29, 2007 9:59 am) I guess I better check out the Range Rover. I just read all the horror stories and wrote them off. I drove the ML500 and the X5, both of which are very nice. I liked the roomy feel of the Escalade over the others.

Replying to: gagrice (Jun 29, 2007 10:30 am) You can't compare a Modern Range Rover to an old one. Completely different vehicle as of the 2003 MY. There is some debate about whether or not the switch to from the BMW V8 to the Jaguar V8 was a plus or minus. We have had some minor issues with the Jag V8 but front differential and electrical problems that came up on the 2003-2005 Range Rovers disappeared for 2006. |

I thought the Cadillac Escalade was the king of SUV's? That and the GMC Yukon Denali (which are essentially the same vehicle, just different skins) Someone on here probably just had a heart attack cause they'd never thought they'd hear this from me.

Replying to: british_rover (Jun 29, 2007 9:27 am) It is still at its heart a Chevy/GMC truck. All other Luxury SUVs in that class or price range, except for the Navigator, are not handicapped by a plebeian mass market platform. The Navigator is the exception to all of this but it is even worse then the Escalade. Everything else is some for of unibody platform some with subframes. Everything else is a fully independent suspension, many with standard air springs and some with standard adaptive air suspension. Many luxury SUVs now have a adaptive combination hydraulic/pneumatic suspension." Even though it doesn't have IFS, it is still the best there is no doubt. Large GM SUV's are still the standard to be measured with and im not afraid to tell you. |
