Wow, pretty sweeping statements!

As an SUV driver, I just want to let you know I signal all my intentions and don't bully into and out of traffic.

We could easily come up with stereotypes for all vehicle types, including highly modded sports sedans. [/QUOTE]

FE aside, I would never drive any vehicle with an average or less rollover rating from CR.

The LX will no doubt have one of the best quality interior, but the design looks like something out of the transformer movie. It looks busy. Then again, expect the LX to come with loads of features.

I'm not a fan of the escalade. Mainly because there are too many of them down here in socal. You got your moms driving to pick up her one and only kid from kindergarden, and you got your average highschool graduate thinking he's a 'pimp' now that he has a used caddy.

btw, is it me or do most tahoes have problems with their DRL? Usually only one of them works.

Most GM SUVs for the past 10 years or so.

Again to me the Escalade is a nice SUV and I think a great improvement over the last model.

The difference is, there aren't many in my stereotype category!

At the end of the day, the Escalade is a HUGE improvement over the
old body style, and I definitely like it better than the Navigator.

I've noticed that, too. GM should switch to a dedicated LED bulb for DRLs!

I know you are not in this category, Bit, but I've seen some SUV drivers "signal" their "intentions" quite effectively.

Have fun at the gas station.
"Mister Johnson: that'll be $94.50. See you tomorrow!"
I only drive like that after I leave the gas station.lol I kid, I kid!

But serious, in all major cities that I've been to. It doesn't matter if they're rolling on 26's like me or small little donuts. If you give them space, they're swerve their vehicles into your lane not respecting the fact that you're a conscientious and alert driver allowing yourself enough braking/maneuvering room from the car in front.

Why not hang on for the new LX/LC? Or if you need one now pick up an 07 LX for cheap!

Talk about a let down. Honestly all of my childhood and all my life I have ADORED the G wagon until I rode in it. My father was looking at an 06 AMG before he picked up his Supercharged Range Rover and I was ecstatic. The sales guy brought around that gorgeous black and chrome beauty and I was ready to explode with excitement. That car has PRESENCE. But after riding in it, the interior looked like it was made out of the leftover parts of the 1994 E class and the ride felt like a WWII Panzer. The AMG didn't even feel that quick.
