I thought you were going to wait on the TX to check it out...

 

Yep, that’s the issue. We know it won’t be as practical as the van we just need as much room as we can get. Biggest thing is the dog being able to come up from the third row and walk between the captains chairs in the second row. These are the hoops I’m jumping through lol

I am, just starting the process. 6 months left on the lease and we may need to order something. I would wait for the refresh GLS anyways which is coming in the fall.

 

See, I might be able to overlook a few rough edges if I have a Cadillac truck that's so quick it would beat my SL roadster, at least up to 60 or so.

I've seen 0-60 times as low as 5.5 seconds for a last gen Escalade, that's seriously quick. LX is plenty quick but nothing like that.

GM isn't perfect but the brand does have strengths, I think that's a fair statement.

 

I would just wait for the current generation to come into a price range you like and get that, then you have it all.

The previous gen is not a compelling vehicle IMO, I would rather have a Navigator.

 

It’s silly anyway, we are fixed pretty well car wise.

Would rather do some house project(s) before buying a fourth car (for two people lol).

 

There's been some buzz both on CL and Reddit that the LS will be cancelled next year. If true, I'm not remotely surprised.

 

Lol I called that 5 years ago. Bye bye! It may not be cancelled, but there won't be another one after this.

 

have you considered a chevy traverse? i think they're great looking outside. interior is a bit eh but very large and practical. would save you a fortune too.

 

My guess is it will disappear for a little bit and then be back as an EV...

Traverse is a GREAT vehicle...she doesn't like it. We've been in them a ton as MinnieVans in Disney. I'm going to have her drive a Tahoe and will make her drive one of these too. I don't know that they have available SuperCruise or lane centering and thats a must have.

This is a vehicle that deserves more attention than it gets

 

i agree 100%!

i like it better than the cousin enclave.

 

The difficulty with the Traverse is it only works as a strong value play. If you start loading it up with options the value prop is out of whack - it becomes pricey and then you're stuck with an interior that feels cheaper than key rivals.

 

That makes a lot of sense and have seen it myself a few times.

I'll look at a car and I like it but by the time I upgrade from the base to the higher trims I like, the price goes up so much I'm now tempted by other brands & offerings in the same price range.

One of the main reasons I've never owned a Cadillac, I like them but something else gets chosen.

 

That slippery slope will get you though. You option A up to a certain point, and then realize you can get uplevel model B for around the same price. So you switch over. But then you don't wat a base model with no options, do you? So you start adding a couple of things. Pretty soon you're at double your initial budget.

 

Simple way to avoid that is to buy absolute base or absolute top like I do lol!
