2023 Cadillac Escalade V

[THE YETI]

@soulsea loves kids to much that he often offers to tote around all the neighborhood kids to their practices. The stickier the fingers and the runnier the nose the more it warms his heart

If you saw his neighbor you’d be taking her kids around town too.

She's fading fast ... you might have a shot with her in a few years.

Perfect. I like a fine wine.

Honestly the more I think about it the more I'm reconsidering purchasing this.

I was so excited to have my dealer's first allocation and now I'm really down on it. It's not that I mind paying the 150, but you better give me a lot more than what you have for that price. The brakes are meh, and if you're going to charge that much do something to make the interior more special than the Platinum.

My Durango Hellcat will smoke this thing both on the straights and around corners. Yes it's not in the same class both size and luxury wise but it also had a $85k msrp. I care a lot more about the dynamics of a performance vehicle than the digital display and it appears that I already have an SUV in my garage that's more fun to drive than the V. And I also have the new full size Range Rover V8 being delivered in July. The plan was to trade it for the V when it came in, now I might just keep it. It 'only' has 530hp but is beautifully designed inside and out and can actually handle something more than a dirt road.

As we all know we live in a crazy world and it's rare for me to be surprised by prices any more ... but in my opinion Cadillac has jumped the shark with their pricing. If we're accepting this price point we're basically accepting $100k Tahoe LTs in a couple of years. It's going to be really interesting to see how the downturn in the financial markets relates to people willing to continue paying g crazy prices for cars.

I haven't decided what to do yet, I might still get it, or I might just get a Tahoe RST and to this shit myself for around $100k.

Get the V and give me your Durango. My 2010 Tahoe just doesn't cut it anymore.....

Saw a truck full of 6 or so white Escalade V's on I-96 in mid-Michigan over the weekend. They look pretty mean in person.

After almost a ten year hiatus, looks liek I'll be back.

Just got the call that my dealer got their first allocation and they offered it to me. Supercruise is not available on this initial batch.

Not sure what to do. The price is already ridiculous on this car it ****** me off that it’s missing a crucial option, albeit one that I’ll never use.

Plus there’s no indication of when it might become available so if pass on it it might be months before it is.

Ugh.

How much over MSRP? Everyone is guessing at least $25K.....

Msrp for me.
