2007 Escalade, not .

Summary:
THEY BROKE THE MOULD WHEN THEY MADE THE 2007! This car is spectacular! I bought the 03 Navigator when it first debut in showrooms back in 2002 and I never thought I would find a truck I loved as much as the Navigator. I didn't really care for older Escalades, although I owned a 99 Denali, practically the same thing. The 403 HP in this beast has handed Mercedes S430's their "rear-ends" maybe I am just a better driver? The back up camera, the XM, the heated & cooled seats, the entertainment system, the 22's from the factory, I can't say enough good things about it, it is a day and night difference. I am kind-of petty I had a "disagreement" with a little kid at the carwash recently when he said it looks like a Toyota, he wished he didn't say that after I flipped out and told him he was on crack! I am a young entrepreneur and get A LOT of strange looks from people about me driving this car, I swear to God, if one more person asks if my parents bought it for me, I will FLIP OUT! I am shocked that it has 103 more HP than my Navigator, weighs about 1,000 lbs less and still gets about 14 mpgs!! Impressive.

Strengths:
403 HP, still better gas mileage than my Navigator was, back up camera, EVERYTHING!

Weaknesses:
I have already had the Navigation system stereo replaced 3 times in 3,000 miles because it freezes and sometimes refuses to play sound. Cadillac dealers give you the red carpet treatment with this new state-of-the-art Escalade though. Also, for $61k, they should have a better way to remove the 3rd row besides lifting out (2) 100-lb seats and smashing your fingers on them constantly.
