I live in a Suburb of Dallas and by far, the drivers of every Escalade I see (which is alot) are White middle aged females followed by White Males young and older. Neither appear to be Rappers or Pimps. Not sure where you live. |

I must say, I am not super impressed with Cadillac, I really would like to be. I have owned some nice brands, purchased or in a couple of cases leased, new (only significant to comment on the dealer experience). I have had BMWs (M3, 335, X5, M5), and Audi (S4), Porsche (Cayenne S, Boxster S) I mention these only for context. I would say that the Cadillac build quality is on par with my BMWs, better in some ways, not as good in others. The Audi was a bit better then either brand, and the Porsches smoked all of them. The real difference, where Caddy falls on its face is the dealership, more specifically the service experience. The German brands have this dialed in, loaner cars, washing and cleaning of you car before its returned. Its not the people that you deal with, my Cadillac guy is great, and its the same guy every time (same with my Porsche experience, not with BMW or Audi), its just that the GM dealers don't/can't take that extra little step. With the exception of the M5 the Escalade is the most expensive vehicle of the group, the 335 was the least expensive, the dealership experience with the BMW was FAR superior (the two dealers are about 2 miles apart, so it not like its a 'different' area). |

I do agree with the other post- having owned multiple mainstream luxury brands- the Cadillac dealership is very subpar. It's what I'd expect at a regular GM dealership. |

Looks like the front end was smashed into a wall. Which makes it look out of portion.
As for those comparing to a BMW, in some states it is a BMW (Big Mormon Wagon). (And if anyone is worried those of the LDS faith call it that too). |

Some people (especially people on this board) hate on the Escalade, but it is a good value when it's time to seriously consider a large SUV. |

First estimates suggest a lap time around your local Costco in under two minutes and a fuel consumption of five gallons per mile. But the real question is whether the “Escalade-V” comes with a manual transmission…

Service Experience.
I have used several Cadillac dealers over the years and the overall experience has been favorable, based on 2 conditions. 1}The Cadillac dealer is a stand alone dealership, not combined with other brands, i.e. Cadillac/Buick/GMC. 2) If the dealer has other brands, they are also premium brands. Sewell Village Cadillac in Dallas and Parker Cadillac in Little Rock are both outstanding dealers. Conglomerate dealerships with entry level brands integrated with their premium brands are a total crap shoot. I seems that they are pulled down to the lowest common denominator in their attitude toward customers. I drive 60 miles to Little Rock for service or any other things regarding my Escalade than going to the local Hot Springs dealer that is a huge conglomeration of brands. I will not enter the local Cadillac dealer and be treated as if I am bringing in a bottom line Nissan. By the way the Little Rock BMW Dealer has the same problem. They could learn a lot from the Cadillac dealer 2 miles away about customer service.

Are we just going to pretend the gap in the wheel arch is not totally laughable?
