I think they buy them mostly because the neighbor bought one and they want to look as cool as they think he does. I only have one buddy with an Escalade, He bought the thing for two reasons...1. He only drives Cadillacs, 2. He needed a FWD truck to go hunting in. He's the only person I've ever seen that used his Escalade for what it should be used for. The thing is all scratched up from "Booney Crashing " and getting to where the game is and he also uses it for a work truck ( He has a small drywall co. ) It's the only Escalade that I've ever seen that I think looks cool! The rest of them with their stupid 24" wheels and their weak street tires should have bought a car!

I don't understand why someone would want one of the big ugly things unless they HAD to have it for carting stuff or curtain climbers around. I mean...The only reason I even have my van is 'cause it's needed for my business and keeps the miles down on the Cadillac! Fur the most part I think SUV means Stupid Useless Vehicle. That having been said....I do not agree with the IDIOT liberal Nazis that want to outlaw them! Those people are UN-American I.M.H.O.

That's what I'm talking about dude! You've got a reason! I mean the suburban women and Yuppie men ( I use the term "Men" Loosely ) That buy them and drive them for no other reason than to have them 'cause they're in style....Or the IDIOT Hip Hop boys that think they look cool in them with the stupid looking 20"+ Wheels and giant boom box stereos! ( Like anybody's Impressed with their stereo!) That think because they have bad taste in music that I might want to share in it with them!....They're who I'm referring to. Not YOU!
We say what we think here! Good or bad....Sometimes guys will agree with you and sometimes they'll not. It doesn't mean they hate you they just disagree. It's a discussion forum hence we discuss things.....Sort of the nature of this beast! Read some of the older posts and you'll get a feel for what's happening here. We tend to point out our likes and dislikes rather strongly....There are people here that disagree with me almost every time I post but they NEVER tell me not to say what's on my mind. The differences of opinion are what makes this forum more interesting and fun than so many of the tech sites that you go to only when you have a question and then never go to again! Try to enjoy this....It's rare!
I've got to disagree with you Ralph! He'll just be a peckerhead in a big truck! We all know that,what you drive doesn't make you who you are.....But who you are might well determine what you drive....That little peckerhead might just need that truck to try to make up for something he thinks is missing in himself!Ralph said:

That statement has to be based in a total lack of understanding of the so called Cadillac mystique! It's a CAR! It has no mystique! The Cadillac ownership experience has always been about luxury cars and has nothing to do with trucks! As far as obnoxious, wasteful, pretentious or any of that! Who cares? The Escalade is the low rent stepchild of an otherwise fine car company whos flagship...The DeVille is what the company has always done best and will continue to do long after the Escalade is commited to the memories of those who like to remember fads and flashes in the pan! No matter what they did to make it look like a cadillac on the outside it's still JUST A YUKON! with a bad facelift!
