The CT5V BW is an awesome car. LT4, proper damn manual transmission, sounds great. The c8 and escalade boat anchor shitboxes are the antithesis to the 911 S/T.

911 FTW!

It really needs about 4 or 5 more openings in the front somewhere.

The Escalade has no competition, it has always stood alone.
The Escalade V has 682 HP, does 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, 1/4 in 12.7.
Not world-shaking, but not bad for 3+ ton grocery getter, with more room than anything else.

If you are spending up to $200K based on ADMs, you probably have a few dollars to make it look however you desire.

Or maybe just don't buy something hideous to begin with? I dunno.

No accounting for taste, AND sometimes hideous can be fine.

I will probably never buy an SUV for myself in this lifetime, so I am just stirring the pot in this thread.

Do you drive it with a little white dog on your lap? That's what the Floridiots do here. Does it come with the car?

The Lincoln Navigator and the Jeep Grand Wagoneer are direct competitors to the Escalade. Although I'm not sure they have the shit-my-Depends poser tune that the Escalade V has. I do agree that the Escalade has no business being in the performance/enthusiast SUV market that is shared between basically the entire rest of the SUV world:
the Porsche Cayenne, Lambo Urus, Ferrari Purosangue, Range Rover, Audi RSQ, BMW M5, Mercedes GL, Durango Hellcat, Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, etc.

Disagree. That entire platform has awful proportions, in Chevy/GMC or Cadillac flavors. I don't see anything attractive about any of them.

I like it. I have no interest in one but it is a very nice piece IMO.

Porsche fit, finish, engineering, reliability, and performance outshine GM 10 fold.
Now, GM has some talent, its the bean couthers that screw it up every time.

I agree! Oh and I'd take the Navigator over the Escalade. They are freaking nice! And I love the interior isn't just black like most everything else.
