    I just feel like the Escalade is a pointless vehicle. If I wanted a luxury vehicle that was capable off-road, I'd buy a Range Rover or a Lexus GX :cool:

    Or just put leather in my Taco, oh wait I'll eventually do that anyway :thumbsup:

    I agree, the new runners are super nice!

    I'll be at Elmendorf. I think I'm gonna grab an apartment in Eagle River. Seems like a nice place to live up there.

    Eagle river is cool, super close to the base too. Very quiet town but all of Alaska is pretty quiet wherever you are

    We will have to get a beer when you get here

    Right! I can understand them bringing back the retro slit lights on their cars but to try to swing them on the back of an SUV is hideous

    Great truck take a 45K suburban and turn it into a 75K Cadillac with leather and big lights. That thing is so ugly it has to sneak up on a mirror.

    Except Suburbans are well above 45K now as well.

    I think the design hits its intended target pretty well. It's clean and fitting with the Cadillac design language. The full length lights look great at night and are very distinctive.
