Carbon Black is beautiful. We looked at a couple of 5 Series with it when we bought our car.

The price of the 760 is really compelling. This is spec'ed 100% to my preference. A similar S580 would be $140,000

Carbon black is a nice color. Get it Steve. Less $ and new experience too.

Once upon a time, 760 would have meant you had a pair of straight sixes under the hood.....

This is why people love Cadillac, it's the small things.

I'm torn.
Looks cool but not sure I love it over the S-Class yet.

I wouldn’t at all accuse Cadillac of being good at the small things lol

Those keys are a great analogy for Cadillac in general in the 80s, 90s and 2000s. They looked cool, but you use them for a year and all the crappy gold plating falls off and they look like straight garbage. THATS Cadillac…

I love the first gen Cadillac Escalade. Can you believe the 1998 Escalade had auto-4WD but the new 2023 Sequoia doesn’t.

It was a cool vehicle on the surface, but it was garbage so far as quality was concerned. My dads STS was the same way, it was great looking and drove well and comfortable, but poor build quality and lots of problems.

Yeah that's true. lol
I've always loved Cadillac cuz they do ***Bling*** so good.

But I also know it's not always high quality

My good friend has over 200k on his Escalade and he won't stop bragging it up, loves it.
He came from an old Lexus LS and traded it somewhere around 400k miles if I remember but he is an Escalade man now and says no turning back.

PS- he's always trying to talk me into getting an Escalade and I might do it someday.

Caddys also have the best horns at least the older ones that had those gold keys, the honk is louuuuuuud and deep. Different than any other car. That was another thing that made them “special”.
