    It seems like a bunch of automakers are now making these insane, V8, gas guzzling, cars because they probably know regulations soon won’t allow them to anymore.

    • @Ultimarium
      @Ultimarium Před rokem +562

      Bingo, same issue with gasoline prices currently imo. This is their last chance before everything moves to electric and gasoline is going to be dirt cheap again due to low demand. Now is their chance to price gouge and they're definitely taking it.

    • @conman1395
      @conman1395 Před rokem

      Or they planned to make these during the years Trump was in office while gas prices were low. It's not a coincidence that gas guzzlers were popular in the early 2000s before gas prices got high between 2008-2010 and popular again when Trump was in office.

      Not at all. The Escalade always had a huge engine stuffed in it. They've just gone to great lengths to wring more power out of them because they don't want it to keep running long past the warranty. Heh, they should use marketing like, every time you drive one of these, you kill a baby penguin. For those who think I'm kidding, they are effected a lot more than I am by global warming.

    Apart from the engine, and the better layout, and the brilliant idea of a button up front to drop the 3rd row (which I continually moan about in my 2019 XL Denali), I can't really see/justify the price tag. a Cadillac badge isn't enough. I'd be quite happy sticking with my Denali, which has been fantastic.

    Let’s be real, when your “short wheel base” is the same size as a long wheel base from 2001 you don’t necessarily need a long wheel base Escalade…

      I believe that the current Cadillac Escalade ESV is around the same size as a Ford Expedition. Which shows how big it's become.

      @@tune.1387 The Escalate is also slightly wider than the Excursion as well.
      Thus, it's clear that the Excursion was ahead of its time on the size front.
