Based on appearence alone, do you consider this a luxury SUV?

Yeah, sure honey.

Let’s see your Toyota Sienna pull a 4-stall horse trailer at 60mph (5,000lbs) filled with another 3,000lbs of horses, up a 4% mountain pass, at 6,000ft elevation.

If it can, I’ll GIVE you my farm!

You can’t even get one. There are 100 people waiting at our local dealer.

Which proves yet again how right P.T.Barnum was.

It can look classy or it can look sort of, for lack of a better word, "car rich". It totally depends who's driving it and what kind of house you live in.

Hmmm, you're so confident this 2022 American pig SUV is comparable to the new Range Rover that you used the 2019, three year old AND previous generation Range Rover photo to "prove" it? Here's the new generation 2022 Range Rover's interior. It makes the General Motors "luxury" interior look like a Fisher-Price joke.

I’m not talking about FARMERS. I’m talking about Ashburn moms driving to/from baseball and the hair salon.

It's ugly as hell, and "cachet" is killing the earth. Long, killer summer heat waves are directly connected to ridiculous vehicles like this.

An X5 with leather starts at 62k, and X7 starts at 78k. A Tahoe is a luxury SUV aimed at buyers who prefer to purchase from American manufactures and they are priced similarly to other luxury SUVs.

Or families like mine with 4 kids. I wish we could still make a bmw or Mercedes work but the back row is just too small

They make 7 passenger Mercedes that have plenty of leg room (sacrifice trunk space). I'd never drive American.

For 2022 Buick is the most reliable least problem brand. Chevy is third most reliable brand.

Shocking to me at lease. The Chevy Corvette among individual models is most reliable car with least problems of any car made.

Toyota’s and Honda’s are less reliable than a cheap Chevy.

GM is an American company led by an amazing CEO whose father worked in the line at GM.

BMW, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Toyota and Honda by supporters of Adolph Hitler.

Back in 2008-2012 I had a mint BMW 5 series that never broke and a older Ford Taurus at same time that did need repairs. The BMW with $200 oil changes and $500 battery and $500 run flat tires maint cost so much more than an old bet up Ford Taurus to repair.

I owned Mercedes, Toyota, BMW, Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Cadillac, Chevy, GMC.

My cheap Chevy Cruze I had was lowest cost of all. It literally did not break once in five years of ownership. And oil changes or a tire was dirt cheap. I sold it for more than I paid for it!

My BMW was best handling car.
My Wrangler lots of fun.
My Caddie great for funerals, weddings, work events where you need grown up cars
GMC Denali fantastic in family road trips dropping kids off at college
Toyota Camry was a great commuter car.
Chevy Cruze was a great commuting car

My Fiat and Mercedes well both were horror shows of repairs and expensive maint.
Dodge just pure cheap no frills car handled like a shopping cart.

Buick’s are so reliable my brother needed a car quick and an old neighbor whose husband did sold him his old Buick with 130k miles. He kept it five years and even did round trip to Florida at 180k miles. He sold it to his Gardner running. Buick’s are Boring old people cars but run forever

You have chased status your entire life.

If I had a third kid and a bigger budget, I'd consider it even if its not a particularly nice looking car.

I could see this SUV in white color and in Fla neighborhoods. That front grille is a bit much, of course some might like that look.

Lots of people with money outside of the coasts prefer Denalis to large Mercs or BMWs. A spec'd out Denali costs the same and fits in better with the oversized Luxury pickups

Keep spending, maybe someday you'll buy the right thing and "fit in".

Yes. An ugly one.

On the contrary, lots of the people you’ll work for your whole life care a great deal about horses.

No, GMC is not a luxury brand and that is not a luxury vehicle.

A 10-15 year old Toyota is the real status symbol!!
