Does this luxury SUV actually impress anyone?

The large, V8, body-on-frame truck-based SUVs are not my style. I prefer smaller and nimbler. But if you like that sort of thing, I'm sure the Cadillac is nice.

The idea that they cost $100k, I guess it signals that you can afford a $100k car, or afford the lease payments or whatever. But big deal, so can almost all of us.

Lol nobody cares that you drive Hondas even though you have $4 million.

My 2011 Caddilac runs like new and looks great.

Truly wealthy people aren't driving something like a BMW X3 or Audi A4. There are plenty of families in DC/Mclean/Bethesda who drive the full-size American SUVs.

As to the price delta on the Escalade, they're all really nice SUVs nowadays but the Escalade interior is a BIG step up from the Tahoe/non-Denali Yukon.

I don’t care or judge what other people drive.

Yes because I can pretend I’m a rapper from the dirty south instead of just mom

I don't own one but my BIL does. While I couldn't bring myself to spend that much for an SUV, especially an American made one, they are super comfortable to ride in - and you feel better protected due to the size.

But yeah, when I pick up my kids from elementary school it surprises how often I see petite moms driving these behemoths.

What does this post even mean? Of course wealthy people don't drive an A4 because that's a first job entry level vehicle out of college for a business major.

It's all about the Section 179 deduction.

Clever UMC and rich do not give a flying f*** that these gigantic rigs cost $80K or $90K or $100K plus because they are driving them for practically free.

This is true if they are self employed. You have to get a huge suv because the deduction was written for work trucks, but some of the luxury suvs quality by weight.

Right after the bridge from VA to MD it was moving a little slow one evening and a 40ish white guy was driving his Escalade at 70mph on the SHOULDER for like half a mile. The Escalade trashiness transcends race, gender, and socioeconomic status. It is the single best indicator I have ever personally encountered that someone is an absolute piece of crap

You sound like a horrible driver. Aggressive behavior is sometimes in response to poor behavior. Why were you moving slow? We're you on the left lane? If so, that's really horrible driving.

IQ of owner of such cars obviously under average

This. Low IQ and critical thinking skills, insecure.

Cars appeal to Americans emotionally. That is why there are different car manufacturers and different makes/models. Why do you care what someone else drives? Drive what you like.

I drive a Tesla MS because I like how it drives. I HATE the Tesla community and dozens of points about the car, but it really drives well. So until I can find a great replacement, I'll putter around in my MS.

I really do not make assumptions about the cars that people drive because everybody has a reason. Otherwise I would have written off Prius drivers years ago.
