I like my SRX. However, the hard plastic used on the bottom half of the inside door trim does not look very luxurious. I think that if part of it were covered with carpet material it would look better and the carpet would not show scuff marks like the plastic does. So what I am saying is that the interior could be better for a luxury midsize SUV.

No, the magnetic ride is not available with the 20 inch wheels that I do have, The big wheels come with big tires all around so they can be rotated. Standard wheels come with smaller tires in front and larger in the rear so a normal rotation is not possible. People are wearing out the front tires much faster than the rears.

Well my suggestion is to wait fora Buick Lucerne Super 
They will have cash on the hood by summer and are much cheaper MSRP unless like you said he gives you one heck of a deal on the DTS.

Well not on the entry-level (CTS) and on the Truck/SUV (Escalade)
Dynamically, the CTS has a way to go.
As for the Escalade, its a hopped up Tahoe that no self respecting German engineer or designer is at all scared of.

Well they might not be scared of it but it sure takes a huge chunk of their potential market away as the slade is the #1 Luxury SUV sold.

I had a Mercedes and traded it in for an Escalade and will get another(Escalade ) in the spring. I made the switch when I took my ML in an oil change and they gave a C30 for a loaner. Let me tell you that if you don't spend a million bucks, you don't get Mercedes quality. What you get is an underpower no option Camry. Cadillac is the best deal for the price, performance, room, a full list of options and yes quality. The Escalade is not re badged Tahoe. Remember that there is a Denali in between them. By the way isn't a Lexus G 470 a gussied up Seqouia? God forbid!!!!

Ummm, if the Escalade is not a re-badged Tahoe / Denali, then what is it? Basically, yet another boring large SUV. The Murano or CX-7 Mazda, at least are showing some design interest. Most all this stuff in same ol' same o'.

The new CTS is WAY nicer than the Mercedes C30. You're paying way too much for that three-pointed star on the hood. Heck, a new Malibu is probably nicer than a C30.
