People buy Escalades because they're the most ostentatious vehicle they can afford. Escalade is big, luxurious, roomy, expensive, impressive, menacing, empowering, and secure. No mere car can deliver the same ownership and driving experience.

That's what owning a Cadillac is all about.

You may think driving around in an Escalade is wasteful, pretentious, ignorant, selfish, dangerous... that's exactly how many people viewed Cadillac cars in their heyday.

Arguing the technical merits or shortcomings or (gasp) utility of Escalade completely misses the point of the beast.

Escalade delivers the traditional Cadillac mystique better than anything else in the inventory today.

And this is why we live in AMERICA folks.... :D :banana:

I gotta admit it KC that AZTEC is butt ugly. I'm not sure what American engineer are thinking sometimes as far as what will sell. Maybe they need to help some of these old timers to retire and put some young innovative minds in the drawing rooms.

Yeah it looks like something a kid would draw in the 3rd grade you know his super hero vehicle or something, with every unGodly attachment that you can strap on it as if someone is buying it as a survival vehicle. LOL

It was a pretty bad seller according to all the guys I know that sell cars! And they say it has terrible resale value!

Well that's believable. Who would want to pay a lot for that but ugly car. And the US wonders why the Japanesse and Euros are coming over here and sell the hell out of cars. It they continue to think that vehicles like the AZTEC will outsell a BMW X5 SUV they must be nuts.

We don't want our utility vehicles to have useful gadgets in America we just want them to look good. It's not like 90% are going to ever take that thing of the road or anything like that.

Plus do you know how hard it has to be to get laid driving an AZTEC?

I do not agree with the IDIOT liberal Nazis that want to outlaw them! Those people are UN-American I.M.H.O.

Hey, KCNewell... :) let's keep politics off this board. You know full well someones's gonna reply to that, saying something bad about the right and defending left. Same with the French guy who is no good at war.
Personally,i don't care if you say these things, I am just afraid that someone goes political, evetually we all end up flaming.
Environment, War on Iraq and other topics shold be looked at elsewhere, at, say www.wariniraqforums.com (not real site, just made up, though these days who knows...). This is www.CADILLACforums.com
I am not bitching, I am just trying to put out the fire before it starts. Kinda what is happening in Iraq.... damn, how did that slip in? :)

P.S. Also, I wish people proofread what they're saying before clicking "submit".
P.P.S By the way, Escalades are awesome, especially ee-es-vees, but I think they are just too small, cramped and hardly use any gas. :)

Ok, I am off my little soap box today...

Good for you! I disagree! But I'm glad we live in a place where we can disagree and not get shot for it!

If it were up to me, i would discontinue the escalades, even if they sell good.

Hey, Elwesso, I think you should drop whatever you're doing and apply straight to GM. You don't even have to post a resume, just walk in and say, hey, this is a good seller that people want. Let's KILL it! I am telling you, GM management will be like "Hey, he thinks like we do, he is like us". You'll be hired on the spot, promise. (LOL)

Seriously, though Cadillac Escalade is an awesome machine, regardless whether it has customer wheels or is being torn up in some wild terrain.
Does anyone know the future for this truck? Any redesign due? Maybe GM should come up with some funky wheel designs of its own, thus people do not have to pay aftermarket wheel manufacturers. Just an idea.

P.S. In the immortal words of "504 Boyz": we roll tight whips... eh-veh-ree day, Bentleys, Lex-mercedes and.... well, you know :)

You all know that if you REALLY wanted an escalade you could go to your local chevy dealer and buy a tahoe/suburban/avalance and order the available escalade front clip (and tail lights of you really want 'em) and have it put on and still save around $7000...right?
