How is the Escalade?

Chip · #1 08-19-2006, 09:34 AM

I was thinking about getting another car and the Escalade seems good. Does anybody know how it performs? Is acceleration good. I noticed that this has a 403hp engine compared to the 315 the 4.4i has. I know it won't turn on a dime like the X can, but how is it interior size wise? Also, is gas mileage better or lower than the X? I was thinking about getting it black\black and the AWD system and I choose all the upgrades.

Number one stolen SUV over 30K per Forbes.

Horsepower is one thing, what is the torque?

Value falls faster than Chet Baker out a hotel window.

Need the space?

Yukon Denali black-on-black with tints.

The money you save will pay for the gas as long as you own the vehicle.

Have you become X5Worldized?!?!?! I would have NEVER expected that attachment from you a few months ago...

LOL @ L

The attachment is exactly what I think about when I picture an escalade! Well, that and Wagner's Random Rap Line.

Ruined. Six months ago I thought NWS stood for National Weather Service. Could not figure out why every Wednesday and Friday there were weather reports on X5world.

Hijack over...Now, back to Escalade Prevention...

Drove a fellow ball chasing Geezer's new one this past
week: good power, if very noisey/"stuffed up" motor,
looks ok/GMish inside, BIG, handled like an old Trojan boat.
Humongous wheels and tars, but they, with the cocoon-like
suspension, only added to the "floatey" '60s style Buick ride.

For some, whom float down the interstates and need the
room or...it will fill the bill and there are deals up the wazoo
on 'em.

The mpg sticker was already off the car: my Bud has
averaged 12.2 in his first 1000 miles. I cannot think
the mpg is better than an X, but Wtfdik?!
My Qtr's up...
GL,mD

Off Track, as usual, per yours truly...

A, you are killing me!

Nice Booty Call, too.
Is that jelly or jam?

We used to own one and had ordered a 2007, my mom really liked hers, very comfy to drive and yes they are frequently stolen, she loved the 2007 model but we ended up with a LX470, I love how the X5 drives, handles and corners, all of which the Escalade cannot touch

It's a blinged out Tahoe/Yukon. I would get the Yukon... parents have 1 and love it. I had 2 Tahoe's in the past, great trucks.
