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

There are plenty of multi million dollar ranches in Texas and Wyoming with GMC (and, gasp, Ford and Chevy) products in the driveways

Of course because you need a truck on a ranch. That is a truck. It’s not a luxury suv.

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.

Are we really talking about a difference here? I'd much rather have that GMC engine under the hood though.

The landrover will have higher quality plastics, but any given part is more likely to fail. At least they don't use Lucas anymore

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

Okay? Are you a multi-millionaire ranch owner who’s constantly hauling trailers and horses, often for hundreds of miles —— or are the people who post here parents living in and just outside of a major city on 1/4 acre plot who literally never tow a thing?

If luxury was a car that cornered like a half-filled bathtub, got 14 mpg, was festooned with exterior chrome and had a dash designed by an inebriated poodle. The 22” chrome baller wheels are <chef’s kiss>

They are just gas guzzling tanks! Give me my Subaru Forster any day.

The Range Rover and Jaguar drivers who may think that they're driving luxury vehicles may be surprised to learn that they're driving vehicles owned by an Indian company called Tata Motors who in 2008 bought the names Land Rover and Jaguar from Ford. So there's no reason to be looking down at GMC vehicles.

The RR’s styling is much more elegant and premier. The Yukon is just big and can tow a lot.

OP, tell us the real reason you dislike your SIL instead of hiding behind this reason.
