Escalade

Sorry guys I meant the SRX. I was blinking knackered when I wrote that mixing CTS, BLS and all sorts of things that were going wrong in my head. I will get my coat. In my defence I wasn't or didn't work for Cadillac or sell them. I was at the dealership discussing something else and just took an interest. The SRX (I got it right I think) in my humble opinion looks really good in the flesh although it does look a bit Chelsea. If I remember the suspension was a bit trick, it had magnetic iron filings in it to stiffen up etc also the leather smelt sweet. I think it was 7 seat too? I drove the Escalade a few times as I knew the Sales Manager but didn't really like it and thought the old Range Rover P38 V8 was a better drive. ( to be honest my mates L200 drove nicer [except for the motor]) It also looked a bit out of place driving up the Rhondda Valleys.
Once again sorry about my numskullness!!! I hang my dead in shame.

Dont be silly, I appreciate you giving any kind of advice.

To be blunt, I dont like Estate cars so the SRX isnt for me although they are very nice. I have a Range Rover p38 4.0 V8 and cant wait to see the back of it. Will never buy Land Rover again.

But again, I appreciate you taking the time to reply and it is appreciated very much.

Cheers

Tim.

Remeber that the mpg reading on the information centre is based on smaller US gallons, so 17mpg is more like 20mpg UK.

I know very little about Escalades other than they are very plush and comfortable on the inside. Obviously built to cater for the larger gangster/sport star types the amount of room is incredible even for a big vehicle. It will utterly dwarf most things on UK streets and roads though...
