The Escalade, by any measure except snoot, is by far a better vehicle than the Range Rover.

I would have agreed with this before the new full size model Ranger Rover's came out in 2013. We have had one for coming up on two years and has only needed the standard maintenance. No electrical gremlins, no cheap interior parts falling off, and they finally don't have leaky gaskets. The quality of Land Rovers now compared to their older ones are night and day. I had a Discovery II in college and it was absolutely wretched from a reliability standpoint. I would put it up against any SUV from GM in terms of quality and reliability now. Same parent company that fixed Jaguar.

The 2015 long wheel base Autobiography Range Rover's interior is Rolls Royce like quality and luxury. It's also like 150k though. Our local dealership has one in the showroom and sat in it last time I was there. The backseat was incredible. Same colored leather has these pics.
