Bout time Cadillac actually makes a luxury product again. They haven’t done it since getting rid of rear wheel sedans. They just been a more expensive Tahoe using the same components with different trim packages

That shifter drives me nuts. Pushing up for reverse is not something I’m used too.

All 3 of Cadillac's sedans (CT4, CT5, and CT6) are rear wheel drive. They are all very nice.

What do you think of the console shifter? I'm wondering why it isn't a dial...



I don't like this particular shifter. It's like the ones BMW and Buick use. I prefer a more traditional leather wrapped one, and also don't really like dial shifters.

I’d rather buy a cheaper vehicle and use the excess funds for something fun. Admittedly, I don’t drive any more than I have to.
77K! Damn! I’ll take a truck and boat for that price.

Do you think this is something different than that?

An Escalade has always been a slightly nicer Yukon/Tahoe with a few unique luxury/tech features. That is still the case with this newest one.

I have a friend who is sales manager for Range Rover...

These things are bad to the bone...way nicer than any Cadillac...

But we're taking about another 60k also...

I would never buy a GM product, but I must admit that the cockpit is impressive.

The tail light assembly on that vehicle is very hard to get past for me, aside from that and the gigantic grille, its a real looker and the infotainment system looks excellent.

$77,000 is a comical cost because it’s more towards $100,000 for the model in the picture.

A fully loaded new Escalade is gonna be like paying a house note.

Good thing, my car guy can get me 120 months with zero down

That's true, but you'll never convince this board that Range Rover is now a great vehicle. They love to hate on Range Rover!

Why hate on range Rover?

Sit behind the wheel of a 2020 160k full size one....its crazy how awesome they are...

Its why the wealthy drive them...not to mention it's a handsome vehicle...

The interior of the last Cadillac was plastic odd locking trash

Better quality than Ranger Rover is like being the skinniest girl at fat camp.
