It's going to make the current gen look dated. Be dated. Period. Bring your cash.

I'm officially convinced by the comments on the Autoblog page that people who call the Escalade ghetto simply can't afford it so they try to put it down!
The Escalade and Navigator are the only American made fully luxury loaded SUVs. Why are people so surprised they are common amongst Americans who want luxury and have the money to buy it!
The build quality and features on them are not anywhere close to the Tahoe and Yukon line period. That's why people buy them.

You got me laughing with the word "loaded" in the same sentence as "Escalade". Funny how a lot of Escalades are sitting in front of houses where the Escalade is worth more than the house. At least that is my observation while at work. :think:

With all due respect, you're seeing purely what you want to see Steven. It's called selective vision.
Come to my suburb in North Texas and Escalades sitting out front are worth 15% of the cost of the house they are in front of at best.
Hell, I go to school in Lubbock and very sparingly do I see "thugs" and "ghetto people" driving around the NNBS Escalade. It's more like privileged college kids and girls. Same thing goes for most areas in Dallas.
Saying Escalades is for "rappers" and "thugs" is just as ignorant as saying Range Rovers are for Kardashians.
For every "rapper" or "thug" with an Escalade, there is at least 20 successfu men/women, privileged individuals, or suburban families with one.

On the other hand, if you said that Dodge Chargers were for ghetto people or thugs, I would not agree completely, but would acknowledge the fact that Dodge Chargers, Chrysler 300s, and Chevy Impalas with cheap large wheels are extremely common in low income, or illegal occupation individuals. But, they are also common as government issued vehicles too.

By the way, I meant loaded as in features.
I drive a Tahoe so I am not trying to stick up for the Escalade. I am just stating the unbiased truth. I can also say that I see a lot more supposed thugs in Tahoes than I do Escalades.

This coming from a guy who lives in a state where houses and land are cheap. Outside of Texas homes cost a whole lot more. I would have to buy 3 or 4 Escalades just to equate the cost of my modest 3 bed, 1½ bath, 2 car garage, 1700 square foot house in southeastern Virginia. My house is not in an upscale neighborhood, nor the slums.
