Replying to: onlygmmatters (Dec 27, 2007 12:27 pm) Take for example the Escalade. There is nobody, not Mercedes, not BMW, not Audi/Lexus/Acura/Volvo who could design a more beautiful or powerful SUV like GM can. The Escalade is the Standard when you think of Luxury SUV's   Maybe when "you" think of "beauty", the Escalade pops in your head. But I suspect not everyone here is a pimp or bling crazed. There is hardly an SUV out there that I wouldn't rather be seen in than an Escalade. Replies to this message: louiswei (Dec 28, 2007 6:38 am) habitat1 (Dec 28, 2007 7:22 am)

The RX started as a Highlander. The QX56 started as an Armada, etc. Parts sharing is common. The Escalade has a totally unique interior, HIDs, 9" nav screen, 22" wheels and a better powertrain than the Tahoe. They are not the same vehicle.

The Cavalier, I mean Cimarron, was only memorable for one reason... "   I find it interesting how GM bashers continue to talk about the Cimarron even though it was in production about 25 years ago. How is that vehicle relevant today? People feel a 25 year old Cadillac mistake is reason not to buy a current Cadillac but dont feel MB or Audi's recent quality issues are enough reason to be skeptical about those brands. Do we have any poor quality Cadillac stories more recent than the Cimarron? I think I was a toddler when that car was out, its time to move on. Replies to this message: viso (Dec 28, 2007 2:42 pm)

The ugly new LX570 isnt going to make a dent in Escalde sales, especially at $73k.   No it's not going to because the LX570 is totally in a different category/time zone/universe than the bling-bling 'Slade.   When the day comes that I link "beauty" with "Escalade" I hope someone could put a bullet in my head to end my misery...

Why don't you try to compare 80s Caddy with 80s MB and BMW? Then try 90s Caddy with 90s BMW, MB and Lexus...   Apples to apples here please.

Hmmm. If style over substance floats your boat, then yes, Cadillac has plenty of pimpadelic g-crunk for you. Replies to this message: bumpy (Dec 28, 2007 7:25 am)
