Was not a Cadillac person

I had dabbled in Cadillac and had a Escalade before, but when it moved in to the big baller/rap/gangster arena it was not a car for me. I am a conservative person and I did not want to be associated with the image. However, the new design caught my attention, no artificial gills and a really nice looking SUV. I don't mind the truck frame lineage, I like the durability and toughness aspect of the design. I really bought it to carry around my grand children and I want them protected. However, it is entertaining and I really like driving it. The price of entry is steep, but the look of the Tahoe or GMC versions did not visually appeal to me. I like the way this SUV looks and I feel good driving it. I could have bought any SUV, but I am a guy and this one appealed to me. I have had no issues and have about 10K miles on the truck.

This is my third Escalade, 2004, 2012 and now this 2017. Best vehicle period!!!! The styling, the handling, the quietness while driving, the sound system - what isn’t there to like about these SUV’s? Sure some may say the cost of gas - get over it, if you’re looking to buy one of these or any V8 then gas should be the last thing in your mind. I will never drive anything else ever in my life - if you’re thinking of getting one, get it. New or used even if you see one with 100k miles on it. Buy it, but do get an extended service contract if you buy one with that many miles just to be safe. I love my Escalade I promise you’ll love yours too!!!!

Great vehicle as far as options and comfort however after driving a few hundred miles I feel a shudder in the transmission and after doing research I see that this is a common issue and the only fix is to replace the entire transmission and torque converter.

You should know that you (probably) only live once. If so, live at the highest level that you can afford. Good luck if you want to buy a 2021 Escalade.
