    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.

      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.

      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.

    I have only owned 1 Cadillac -> an Escalade. Bought it when it was 2 yrs old, but got the Cadillac full etc warranty. The customer service I got for the next 4 yrs was UNBELIEVABLY INSANELY AWESOME. Hands down without anything ever even close, even buying more expensive brand new flagship model stuff from other manufacturers. The customer service was so good I still feel guilty buying another brand of vehicle. We sold the Escalade the first time fuel prices went insanely high 10 yrs ago. I don't know if it was the dealer we went through or if Cadillac just does more, but they made everything so easy with warranty and any sort of service. They brought a car to our house and picked up the Escalade (via flatbed tow truck) for warranty work (vehicle rear axle somehow broke) when my wife was pregnant and I was out of state. I have never been treated so ... perfectly ... with anything else.

    $150k is a lot but people pay 250k for a hummer and 100k for a ram why wouldn’t they pay 150k for an Escalade V also I feel like a lot of celebes would want to be in one

    If a car has a soft limiter for reving while in park just put it in neutral then rev it. It will turn off the limiter and then you can rev it to your hearts content!

      Not always. Some prevent you from doing that in neutral too. Take the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT for example.

    Doug, part of the reason the price jump is so massive is probably that thermal camera. Those generally run about 10 grand or more.

    Quite honestly, that's a very impressive vehicle. Nearly perfectly designed for it's market/buyers. And if I could afford a 150k vehicle, I could afford the gas for it. I wish that nightvision feature had been adopted by more vehicles/brands by now. I'd love that for all of the rural driving I do where deer everywhere.
