[@thevampirecielphantomhive2342]

I'm a lover and it's painful how much i want one.

[@thevampirecielphantomhive2342]

@SuperZX thats smug dide your well off the gas prices affect everyone its not a laughing matter

[@doug9066]

I like the looks of this model year, I've been considering buying one from this body style to a newer body style.

[@doug9066]

@SuperZX I'm starting to feel the same as you guys not worrying about the gas mileage or cost to fill & thinking of getting one. I fill my Lincoln Town Car when I have a half a tank anyhow plus I conserve when I'm in town on my days off.

[@skyforce911]

in all honestly , what he is saying is pretty true. the cadillac escalade just reeks luxury.

[@eLO419]

my dad bought the premium one 2 weeks ago and he let me drive it for a day yesterday.. badass car!

[@doug9066]

Very nice & nicer in black on black. In 1999 the Cadillac Escalade reminded me more of the GMC Yukon Denali.

[@eLO419]

my dad bought the premium edition a month ago.. awesome car!

[@JonahGhost]

definitely better than the competition models which were metioned during the review

[@MySamisbest]

Thats a nice rebadged Yukon.... I wish the Escalade had an option to get those brake lights... Thats a VERY nice vehicle you have there!!

[@NYPD265]

One of my family friends recently bought the mercedes suv, as my family bought the 2012 cadillac esv.. His mercedes has already been in the shop mulitple times as for the cadillac we havent changed the oil once and it still drives like it brand new. American cars are proven to last longer than any european car. Proven fact.

[@TheSourceOfAllEvil]

Thanks to Ford and Lincoln's new Expeditions in Navigators Cadillac has a new competition out there

[@autobytel]

Good Catch!

[@tannerenlow379]

If you can afford the the 70-90k car then you can afford the gas!!! I have also never seen another full size suv beat a sports car from 0-60 that has not been modified

[@Laith_E46]

4 wheel drive is when you press on the gas all four wheels receive the same amount of power while all wheel drive although similar, is when you press on the gas and all four wheels recieve different amounts of power depending on which tire according to the AWD system thinks has the most traction

[@vballa91]

you can also get the 6.2L engine in the yukon denali

[@MySamisbest]

Is it a rebadged GMC yukon or an Escalade with different brake lights?

[@arashn89]

@autobytel lots of luxuary suvs are leaps and bounds ahead of the aging escalade like the 2013 mercedes gl550 which has 429hp and 516 lb-tq, infiniti qx, lexus lx etc etc etc

[@SubieandFriends]

good idea but why detune? why not the same or even more power?

[@AlexHernandez-tt2ry]

OMG ! I love the 2012 Escalade , If you ask ppl whats your favorite car , truck or SUV they would probably say a Ferrari or a Lamborghini but if you were to ask me that, i would say a 2012 Escalade , in My Opition its the Greatest SUV On Earth ! Love this SUV , For the Price that it has it's Worth it !

[@80GP400]

2009 Chevy Tahoe had a 6.2L engine with VVT Option with 6 speed Transmission that had a shifter on the column and 3:75 Rear Grear Option.

[@markmarshall39]

how abut detuning the 6.2 zr-1 motor and having an excalade v'series, sounds good to me

[@Narrowcros]

Still dont know the diffrence between 4 wheel drive and all wheel drive

[@bicmitchum1368]

Thinking about getting one of these in 2024, guy wants 21k , is ti worth it?

[@LorenzoMoore1000]

These are some beutiful rides. My favorite ride.

[@cesarconh895]

You can get the 6.2 in a silverado in 1/2 tons and 3/4 and a 6 litter also.

[@Atthewgoop]

Yes you can get a 6.2 in a Tahoe and silverado and gmc to

[@iMrDrumAndBass]

Check the upload date buddy ;). Things have changed

[@projectjt3149]

Nice review, but I'd like to see the hybrid reviewed.

[@SynimaticKootra]

You HAVE to review the new 2013 Honda Accord when it comes out, I saw the pictures and it doesn't look that bad!

[@HD13POWER]

Is the Escalade in the video Premium or Platinum?

[@DizDreamMC]

Cadillac does a perfect job

[@jessicabrady497]

This truck rocks!!!

[@tmwillowbrook]

Well i looked at Tahoe LTZ not too long ago and i was pretty surprised with not being all that roomy and everything inside felt really cheap ( bid disappointment) . End up buying Lexus Rx350 plus got GREAT deal on it since they are liquidating 2012's.

[@lilxmiget]

was thinking about one of these for a family car as i only have 2 seater cars but blimy my lambo goes more mpg than that!

[@MySamisbest]

You guys do know that this is actually a GMC Yukon with all the GMC badges taken off and replaced with Cadillac right? The tail lights sorta sell it out.

[@MrHaiderh]

I have those side steps on a yukon denali too. Not exclusive to escalade.

[@arashn89]

your mistaken,the GL550 for the 2013 model year comes with 429hp and 516 lb-tq which is leaps and bounds ahead of anything that is currently on the market or will come on the market in 2013. the 382 hp you are referring to is the 2007 to 2012 5.4 liter engine, the 2013 comes with a twin turbo 4.7 liter V8 make sure you get the real facts before posting.

[@Ms77check]

You getting beat for the Premium headlights improbably dual exhaust with the Chrome tips in the back too with a DVD screen in the front seats head rest....how I know this I have a Escalade to 2010.

[@georgediaz5293]

Full equipped 👍

[@BigKiddStats]

i owned the escalade for 2 years and i live in NYC and drove it for 20mi max. I bought it for 45k with 28k Mi. sold it for 32k with 72k

[@MySamisbest]

Thats cool!! and yeah... it is..

[@MrSuperrajab]

GMC DENALI has the 6.2 engen too

[@autobytel]

That's City MPG though. Hey you can get 18 MPG on the highway. And that is with cylinder deactivation. One word....Weight!

[@sindrefsproduction]

I would rather have a German or British SUV. Partially because their SUV actually are proper SUVs, but mainly because the quality is much better..

[@KZSoze]

You CAN get the same engine, but in the other sister vehicle, the Yukon, compared to the Suburban/Tahoe.

[@GarrettDerp]

You should upload a video of that and also of your Jaguar XJL Portfolio to your non-existent video collection.

[@cgatti18]

AMEN. The denali is the best value and it now has the same horsepower as this

[@NYPD265]

The denali has a 6.0 liter V8.

[@superstan121]

That's right

[@CodeXana]

I like the Lincoln better although the Eacalade has a great Nav screen

[@orlandoortiz9316]

they be waiting for me to arrive on the red carpet >:D

[@thevampirecielphantomhive2342]

😢 I want one...please 😭

[@MySamisbest]

I was talking about the Range Rover.... I don't have to give reasons why my opinions are the way they are.... They are my opinions and everyone should deal with it.

[@grandizer4531]

This truck looks amazing....

[@1alwayswin]

escalade gets better mpg rated at 14 city 18 highway as supposed to the gl55 rated at 12 city and 17 highway

[@plutonium9]

Looks so much better without all of the tacky chrome trim.

[@TheKeithriff16]

Infiniti is not in the $70-80,000 price range. It starts from about $61,000.

[@carlover2916]

Me too!!!

[@autobytel]

actually the 2013 Mercedes GL550 only has 382 Horsepower and STARTS at $85K mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicles/model?class=GL&model=GL550

[@jbmonku2593]

Ok i have this car but mine is platinum and i dont see a huge difference and i paid 80,500 for the platinum :/ ....

[@Nickschneider12]

Love the Esclalde platinum esv!

[@MySamisbest]

Yeah cool.

[@Blackcuda]

Just so you know, this is a review of a 3rd generation Escalade not a 2nd gen., that you drove with 300hp. Also Cadillac never claimed the Escalade as a off road vehicle, it's for towing and luxury cruising. Also I sincerely doubt any of the foreign SUV's you mentioned can match the Escalades reliability especially a Range Rover !

[@elvisp.colon.2459]

Not now the Cadillac 2012 PLATINIUM IS SOMTHING ELSE... IS CLASS IT USE TO BE LIKE THE DENALI BUT NOT NO MORE. ITS CLASS.

[@MySamisbest]

Actually the MPG ratings are 15 city 21 highway...

[@rparry82]

Im sure i can find me a Yukon Denali that will get the same features as the Escalade.

[@Cmimss]

I love this Version Escalade so MUCH! i wouldn't mind doing a 72 month loan to pay this baby off, as long as i knew i was about to get up each morning and drive it, and wash it :)

[@jasonl753]

+Cam Mims BRUH I feel the same! There is something special of this version. SO timeless

[@Cmimss]

Aye... Hit that 3.2 Billion Dollar Jackpot and you good!

[@sebastianvedia12345]

very intelligent comment

[@LamboSpyder99]

I love it... although from the driver's position, if you turn your head back, you may feel like your in a caravan :)

[@MySamisbest]

$59,000 here in North America

[@mb013962]

the fact that this is a 2012 model and only gets 13mpg, america is better than that, we'll just have to wait for the next gen

[@chek1n]

have you even driven the 3rd gen? it goes from 0-60 in just 6 secs. GM really got their shit together

[@ajkelly1700]

What this guy doesn't know is that you can have the 6.2L V8 in the Chevy Silverado on the Chevy Camaro ZL1 also but the 6.2L V8 in the Silverado only has 350hp the one in the Cadillac escalade has 400hp so there is a noticeable difference

[@TheCircledee]

cool ice

[@moparsrock]

It has a different engine, transmission, interior, suspension, and 4WD system than the Tahoe... So yeah it's different. That's why you spend extra.

[@af_alnahhas]

also the same automated boards and with same seats

[@superstan121]

The competition gets WAAAY better than 13/18 mpg

[@autobytel]

Ah I missed the 2013 part in the first comment

[@DJMRSKINNYJEANZZ]

I don't know about you guys but I like Infiniti Qx56 more than a escalade.

[@mb013962]

well yea

[@rodion5669]

We have an awesome Audi q7

[@miguel929496]

fail why?

[@jayhod21]

didnt know that it had doorsteps or so .... and electrically powered :O

[@MRkingSaLeH]

6.2L same as Tahoe 2015 :)

[@kristianbrandt3012]

Saying the Escalade is a driver's car, is like saying musclecars are sporty and responsive, when really most of our hot hatchbacks could outrun them round a track. The funny thing is that America proved they could build a proper car a few years ago. The Cadillac CTS-V. Sure it's a bit vulgar and, in Europe, a bit of a footballer's car(read, soccerplayer) but it is genuinely good. But most of it is just a sea of plastic and cost efficient pleather.

[@matthew_opgaming5986]

the thaoe the suburban yukon denali all have the same chassi GM made so haters stop hating

[@cyprianonyango8741]

cool

[@MySamisbest]

Why are you replying to me on the videos that I watch?

[@marcsukumar]

I have a beach house in Malibu

[@KeliBaB]

Don't get me wrong I love american cars and I drive an american SUV because it's reliable. I'm the kind of guy who rather fix his truck in his driveway than bring it to the stealership to get it fixed, and would rather drive an old jeep than a brand new "escalade" (what a stupid name). But to be honest, if you're willing to pay premium prices on a luxury vehicle, you better do it right and buy something worth it and with a bit of class.

[@Muhammadqasim-nk2xo]

everything an escalade have are coming in Yukon Denali

[@rootiest]

anyone has this exact same truck? lets talk

[@ssteam-lw5pi]

13mpg wait wat!!!hows that great around town!!!!!

[@insidertrading1]

The LandCruiser/LX is still the best with the most incredible heritage, second only to Land Rovers. I'd get the Land Cruiser, not just for the much better reliability and durability but for the efficiency and features. More 3rd politicians have escaped with their lives in the LandCruiser than any other vehicle too LOL

[@ron20102002]

I wont be turning my head...

[@flapjackback]

it looks awesome. not worth the price at all though

[@14jrlion]

diplomats get driven in those!

[@moparsrock]

hahaha, yeah, it's more of a gas guzzler too, but Anyone who can afford to shell out $70k for a vehicle probably doesn't worry a whole lot about fuel costs. I would like an Escalade, but it's out of my price range. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is nearly just as good, at half the price though.

[@JackpodyDK]

Funny, because if that's true, then why were no Merc's made between 1886-1985 unreliable, while literally every American manufacturer had some sort of problem going on in that period of time? Reality check.

[@sebastianvedia12345]

the escalade doesnt compete with the x5... and the GL benz is perfectly capable of fitting all those things...

[@Officernasty781]

If i had 80grand i wouldnt hesitate

[@RafaVilla13]

A Ford F-150 Harley Davidson is way more luxurious, cheaper & better looking this this Escalade no doubt!
