Nice!! May have missed it, but did you consider any other of the full size SUVs?

I really like the new Escalade. There was a black one in front of me at the carwash the other day, it was sweet, really good looking.
Thanks.

No way. Almost every dealer in L.A. wants $30k over sticker for platinums. I even reached out to a dealer in Texas that had the same color. Would not budge.

I ordered a G wagon and the new Range Rover as backups. At the moment both dealers are still charging ADMs that I refuse to pay. They can keep it.

That's a beautiful truck for sure. Come on Lexus, Lexify the Sequoia and you too can charge over $100k for a vehicle and people will line up for it!

Agreed! Take the Sequoia and bring it to the Lexus side and call it the LX 570L.

Congrats! I see tons of the new Escalades in my area of FL but I have never seen that color. They knocked it out of the park with the exterior and interior styling IMO; a very well executed design. Enjoy in good health.

Congratulations on the new Escalade! That color is stunning and I’ve never seen it before, even with Escalades being extremely common here.

Did you ever own any of the previous generations of the Escalade? My mom had an 06 Platinum ESV back in the day and keeps talking about getting a new one. It’s crazy ho expensive they’ve gotten, even without the dealer markups. I’m curious as to how it compares to the last generation Escalade. It looks likes a big improvement.

Nah this is my first GM truck. I've always liked the exterior of the escalades but the interiors weren't all that great. I think they nailed the interior this generation.

I heard that the 2024 model year is supposed to have an even nicer interior with more amenities in the rear like fold out tables and a screen for the front passenger.

Lol. Whenever I'm near the airport, which isn't far from my house, I often see 2-3 at a time in traffic. They seem to be popular with car service companies. For whatever reason I rarely see car service companies use the navigator.
