Cadillac Escalade’s OLED display will only last 5 years and it’ll total the vehicle out when it needs replacing? Are you sure Ben? That was the most dramatic thing I’ve heard all year. That’s ridiculous especially because the Escalade’s 38-inch display will be 5 years old next year without a single glitch not even a burn-in issue has been reported. Cadillac spent the money upfront for R&D, and evidently did their homework in the development of the 2021 Escalade and that’s why it’s the #1 seller of the segment yet again. This way of thinking Ben is the only way to convince someone to spend $100,000 on a truck as outdated as this or the LX600, and I understand that you want to generate buzz for the comments but what you’re saying is *untrue.* Japanese gotta stop relying on the perception of reliability to sale luxury products.
Cadillac is junk as always. Will loose all the value in 5 years and for good reason. Infiniti will keep running in 10,15,20 years. My Infiniti has 200k miles on it, zero repairs, everything original. Made in Japan.
lol… Infinity does a lot of things right but this is a 2007-esc pos with class trailing performance and economy, not to mention the interior blatantly shares parts with a base Nissan Sentra…
They are redesigning it for 2025 so don’t buy it new. It’s a gem in the used market though. Can buy a 2024 model low miles for like 60k that’s 30 grand below msrp!
