It actually fits in our garage!
...a bit barge-like. The interior is finished really nicely though, and the rear entertainment system comes standard with 2 roof-mounted LCD screens. The 22" chrome rims fit the Escalade's image as does the loud rumble of the top-in-class 403 HP V8 engine.
When I got home I took the tape-measure out and discovered that with a little re-arranging, we would be able to fit the Escalade ESV completely inside our garage.
During our road trip to Portland, Oregon, I decided to count how many Escalades, Mercedes GL-Class, and new Toyota Sequoias we saw on the road. This was the final count:
Escalades = 14
GL-Class = 2
2008 Sequoia = 2
We also saw tons (literally) of Suburbans (which are about the same size as the Escalade ESV).
Looks like something the FBI or
ReplyDeleteSecret Service have. :o)
How did it drive?
Well, I think since they're on the tax-payer's coin, they'll probably have something more like a Suburban :0)
ReplyDeleteIt didn't drive too badly. The sound of the V8 engine is intoxicating!
I like it. It does resemble a vehicle in a protective detail;-). Nice rims and black exterior would be my choice. 4wd right?
ReplyDeleteYup, comes standard with AWD. It's really tempting because a used 2008 Escalade ESV costs the same as a new 2008 Sequoia, yet comes with HID headlamps. LED tail-lights and a nicer grille ;0)
