Would you personally drive a new Cadillac Escalade or would you feel too self-conscious?

My mommy influencer neighbor drives one and it just seems ridiculous. I can't imagine navigating the Trader Joe's parking lot in that thing.

You get used to it after a few days, then you can't live without the space, comfort, and view of the road. Navigating parking lots is still annoying, sometimes, but not enough to give up the space, comfort, and view of the road.

"the average age for an Escalade customer is between the mid- to high-40s"

In other words, affluent middle aged moms. I personally see far more rich boomer men and women driving them than middle aged moms.

I just wouldn't choose it. Just not my style at all.

Sure keep telling yourself that. Have you been on here long? DCUM is full of people claiming they aren’t rich, and yet they make 350k+. Most people can easily afford this ugly vehicle…they choose not to. They drive BMWs, Audis, Land Rovers, etc.

I would not buy an American made car right now.

i wouldn't.

i mean i would if someone gave it to me, i guess, but i would never buy one.

I don’t need a car like that, so it would be ridiculous to have it. But it isn’t showy. It is a bit small pee douchey though

Interesting. My observations fit the mid-to-high 40s and 50s (Millennials and Gen-X)

In Texas, Utah, Tennessee, and Florida it’s all 30 and 40-something attractive SAHM moms driving these.

The only way I’m buying that car is if it comes with a personal chauffeur. I’m sure as hell not driving it, but if Jeeves wants to tote me around-sure.

And some of us just think they are big and ugly. PS we own a much more expensive vehicle and park it in the garage of our SFH.

i don't pay attn to cars. I'd just assume you have a bunch of kids.

So here’s the joke

We have 4 kids. 3 Honda Odysseys and an ESV.

The odyssey is the greatest vehicle ever made. I have close to 250k on my 2012 Honda, 200k on my 10yo Van and about 75k on the 5yo van.

But I will drive the Cadillac for date night. Will the Escalade make it to 200k?? Probably not. But it’s my support of the unions and cliches that keep me in its graces. Money for nuthin.
