The plastic cladding makes it look more rugged and scratch resistant.

 

and then Lexus does the dumb thing by offering no V8 Absolutely unacceptable

 

It was a BIG bug lol.

The one on my S560 the sensor would get dirty and it would complain and I would have to stop and clean it off, but in the S580 that hasn't happened yet.

@AJT123 we are headed to Disney next week and I reserved an Escalade. It was only $100 more than a Tahoe so why not?

 

Nicccce! I wonder if it rides any better than a high end Tahoe or Denali with the air and fancy dampers bc it has both those things. Let us know!

Enjoy the 6.2, IIRC you haven't driven that one. It's not fast like your car but oh it's a satisfying engine.

 

Its hard to say, I have test driven them but they tend to have HUGE wheels and that probably negates the damper improvement. Looking forward to driving one for an extended period. Hopefully I will actually get an Escalade, its an Escalade "or similar". So I might get a Navigator or a QX80 or something like that... $270 for a week not bad.

 

The dampers I personally can't tell are working..which is probably a good thing. I find the Denali has an excellent ride, and it has 22s and no air. It's not going to track like your S-Class, but it's an immensely comfortable rig at higher speeds.

 

They all ride well, even the basic Suburbans I've had ride well.

 

and somehow the Contour got 2 replies


 

I didn't think the Contour was a bad car for the time.

 

Two questions
1) Are you renting to go from the airport to the resort and then use it to get to the parks? We usually take the Disney Express bus to the resort and do Uber when needed.
2) $270/week for an Escalade? Where?

 

I didn’t think you could rent a crappy car for $270 a week let alone an Escalade!

 

Hotel parking lot with friends and family, I'm the odd one out

 

I'm not sure you can rent a pressure washer for a week for $270 anymore. Lol

 

I've always paid around 1k for these vehicles for a week but I know people who have been able to get for much cheaper. Try sixt.

 

We started renting a car during COVID and it is so easy we just do it all the time now vs taking the Disney busses. They no longer do the Magical Express to and from the resorts. So we just drive to the resort and then drive to all of the parks except whatever one we can monorail or walk or boat to depending on where we are staying.

From Avis, I have an AMEX Platinum card so I get discounts but it’s an exceptionally good deal. This is a very good time to go because attendance is way down since kids are back in school etc. We always go the end of September.
