So what color are you getting? Sticking with black here.

I have to see what’s going to be available when the order guide comes out. I’m hoping they’ll offer a frost color like they do on the Blackwings.
I tried to talk the wife into white… got denied. So I’ll just live through yours.
Frost white with the black accents is . I love the Escalade sport in white.

@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

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.

Very similar to the hellcat Durango, trackhawk, and TRX. Basically the same top tier trim vehicles with just a Hellcat motor in it and a $30k+ added to the sticker and some new decals.
Cadillac did no different. Bigger motor, bigger price tag. You’re paying for exclusivity and the ability to say “i have it”.
