Escalades are for show only. Stick with a real truck.

The interiors are more desirable than the exteriors...by far, however, that's all opinion I guess. They are good vehicles, but I'm just a little more partial to the Navigator....... mmmmm Lincoln

Let's see, hmmm...
If you own one in my city, it means that you own at least 3 pizzerias, and that you';ve sorta arrived.

My buddy wants one bad, but than again, he's greek, and all the greeks just love them.

Personally, I don't mind them, I think they are a little garrish(sp) looking, but it could be worse.

personally, I think they look gaudy (especially the front end)

but, I've never seen one rollin on 36s - that might be just what they need...

They look nice, but my opinion is if I buy a truck I use it as a truck and that's TOO much money to spend to have it get beat up.

Id say its a keeper! but as i mentioned it needs some pretty wheels and a set of thornbirds! maybe a white strip on the windshield just a few small things! i just dont wanna pimp one with 24's and things of that nature! so its either gonna be one of those or an excursion......gotta have SUV but just not sure what yet!

Jimmy Lee -

Nice to see you around. How are you feeling... you know, since the accident?


Personally, I don't like the looks of the Escalade/Avalance... Get an STS instead...

Damn that's ugly when it's lifted.
