    I won't lie, as a red-blooded American I'd LOVE to have one of these, but once the high wears off and you look at the auto market financials, even a 7th grade dropout would see DISASTER on the horizon. 17% of consumers paying car debt their payment is $1000+ / month. Average *negative equity* on trade-in is $6300-----for the math-challenged, that means people are *paying* six thousand dollars extra just to get out of the loan they are currently in. That's like paying $27K for a Versa, just so you don't have to continue to pay for the Velar. Unless you make $500K a year (and don't fake, maybe only ONE of the 317 comments on here are by a person making that much), do NOT buy this."

      @@BCWYAF My understanding is that the “out the door” price before tax is going to sit around $168,000. And given the new model year doesn’t have CarPlay or android auto, no power train improvements - I can’t justify the upgrade for a screen upgrade. When to be honest I rarely pay attention to it. I also got a freaking killer deal on my V due to delays the dealer sold it below MSRP at around $144,000; so yet another reason to hang on to it!

    Joe you are right, I was actually wrong about they probably won’t bring the Escalade back for the 2025 model year im so glad that I was wrong.
    Joe I would love to see you buy one of these.

    I never thought I would say this, But i would buy this high end Ecalade. In the past I loved the Linclon Navagator. But the Cadillac brand has really changed this year and props out to the company. I always liked Cadillac's but there interior design just did not do it for me, but now forget Linclon.

    Thing is bigger than some bulldozers. Looks refined though. Cadillac deserves more respect, although to be fair, GM needs to have more patience with some models.

    I personally like my 2024 Escalade V more. Not the biggest fan of front headlight.
