    Understand the Max word, but as far as consistent identical points of measuring from, this is all over the map. I agree that Cadillac needs a Sport and V edition for the Escalade, yet they already have the V that clearly goes toe to toe with the AMG badge in the car side. Time to bring it on the CUV / SUV side. Yet even then, they still do not fully compete against the Escalade line.

    Also depending on where you measure from. Every Auto Maker seems to have a different point on where you measure from. GLS is tight and the seats are terrible for comfort compared to the Escalade. My German Ass has been in both and the comfort is not there in the GLS for large people like me no matter that the so called measurements are close to the Escalades. Why do you also not address that fact that the Escalade ESV has even more cargo room, interior passenger comfort room. Right, MB is too scared to actually build a real competitor. Rather focus on their 40+ year old screw mismatched G-Wagon or their S Brand. Seems MB is a bit scared to really compete in the Luxury Full Size SUV space.

    I love Roller Coasters, so I just tighten my stick belt and fly fast like the devil trying to escape a church! I cracked a few bolts to enlighten the sky as I went over. Gotta love the whole hair plastered back by the rain and the wind in your face as you fly fast. After all, My Stick is a SuperCapacitor Powered EV version. I gave up the witches Brew powered version to keep the air cleaner for everyone! Stop by a Discount Tire or La Schwab and have them reset all your TPMS sensors in the wheels. I hit this with one of my SUV's and that reset and then kept them constant. Weird but sometimes a complete reset of all 4 sensors fixes the weird 1-2 lbs difference.

    Yea, Level 5 is not ready for prime time or for humanity yet. Not enough Lemmings are afraid of driving to give up their freedom yet. I love the EV's, but hate the self driving thing 24x7. I love to drive, will not quit till I have too.

    Agree, keep the comparison in an apple to apple, not an apple to Lime.

    Since the wife was going to drive it the most and she has to see it every day and I care about making sure she is happy like any of us with our spouses, yes, sadly the white dash accent was a deal killer. If the dash was all black, we would have one. So now I await the new EV's from GM and hope they do not mess it up. If they had the Mocha trim or dark brown accent dash, she would have gone for that as she loves the brown interiors and the warmth it gives over black. But not going to spend money on a new auto till she really likes it. After all no auto payments at all, so just save till the right EV comes along and BOOM, we will have it. Then I will show it off and share the experience with you all.

    I wish them the best as I truly believe there is a glut of auto builders in the world.

    I make it a third, no reason to have flames shooting out of ones ass!

    Weird, tried to use the thanks for your post and It said I hit the limit. Thank you still,
  13. G. David Felt
    So True, just also hit the Upvote limit.

    Escalade needs to do two things in this segment. Up their game on the Interior and update the powertrain to equal or surpass the Navi. Bring out an AWD EV version that has 300 miles + of range. Check and Checkmate!
  15. G. David Felt
    Yes, forgot that ugly hydrogen bomb of an auto.
  16. G. David Felt
    I can totally understand you. I think the latest Prius line and Honda line are the most violently ugly auto's out there.
  17. G. David Felt
    @oldshurst442 Agree, nothing better than room in a large auto for lovely ladies!

    Reminds me of the sucker fish that clean the fish tank, small open mouth in the center (To Get Maximum Cold Air) Gills on the sides, (thinking cold air vents for brakes?) I agree that it is played out, but also understand the need to get cold air into the engine and into the brakes for stopping. I suspect we will not get back to elegant front end designs till the EV's hit. That is my hope that the EV's will bring us back to elegance and style.

    So Sad

    You also do not have to have DOHC engines to have awesome engine performance even with Turbo's. Plus no one even you SMK have proven that DOHC is a requirement to be a performance auto. Marketing fluff of DOHC engines that increase weight and inefficiencies. Sold by Europeans as they cannot build a competitive Pushrod motor.

    Smart move to check the old king!

    You really surprised me as you have shown just how conservative, non willing to learn, grow and embrace differences. You seem to imply that life is perfect and everything should just stay static. If we all thought that way, we would have slavery, prosecution of the LGBTA community and we would be poorer for it due to the lack of enrichment on top of still sucking in fumes from leaded gas. There is a reason that those that create and grow their wealth embrace change. Why do you fear the EV? Your job will not go away in repairing auto's!

    You continue to be blind to the truth that their is a vast growing infrastructure for charging. No Soul, No accounting or different tastes or needs? That is all very subjective and personal. many who drive EV's now would disagree with you on both counts. EV's will create a ton of new jobs and new personalities as companies build 3rd party controller boards and software upgrades that enhance the experience of the EV. Why Tesla is able to change the performance on the fly once your credit card clears remotely, Any auto company can really do this. The BOLT even can put out more power, GM just has chosen to not offer the options yet. I would be even willing to say that I bet there is 3rd party companies already looking at performance upgrades for the BOLT. Same thing all 3rd party companies have done to ICE. @Drew Dowdell Nailed the simplicity part very clearly and then even went farther to clarify it or you and others. The ability for people to have their own companies based on building EV upgrades is huge as we are just at the start of the EV revolution for Auto's. Yes, yes it is and I am willing to state that. It is easier to own an EV auto where I live than an ICE auto. Less cost, less maintenance, easier to refill the battery pack with electrons. A soul that responds to the 21st century.

    I understand, but I am not sold that you have to be DOHC to have performance. Too many proven non-dohc motors that run crazy and being a 10K red Line does not mean that is performance.
  25. G. David Felt
    Is the auto paid off? If it is and the repairs are minimal, then I would hold onto it and save for that day when you buy what you always dreamed about. If the auto is still being paid on, then of course, it would come down to payments, do either of the other choices keep you in the same payment in an auto that has not been in a crash yet? I agree that an auto with bad underbody damage is a weakened auto and I would rather have my family and friends in something that is strong and solid. Safety is not an option for me nor can one put a price on quality of life.
