You can't polish a turd......
The way I look at the Escalade is that it still, for all intents and purposes, is a GM truck. Neither of which has impressed me with fit and finish and interior materials in a number of years. I would much sooner drive an MDX, X-5, ML series MB, even a Touraeg.
I may be slightly more impressed with an Escalade if they actually got off their asses and parked a Northstar V8 under the hood, maybe added some other nifty Caddy technologies, and actually justified the price.
DOn't even get me started on these wanna be Hummer POS...... yeech. A real Hummer doesn't have carpet, has helicopter lift points, and will run stuff over without breaking. Also has a noisy diesel under the hood......

well thanks for the input guys. I got pretty much the same responce from TSR....It was the theft factor that deterred me thoguh.
instead, I am going for a 2004 STI, and going for all out speed.
....with a little system of course [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
