Why do people think that esclades are a nice and expensive car?

Question

There not we just bought a toyota sienna that costs the same. Escaldes are domestic and Cadalacs, why do people think they are cool buying one?

Answer 1

Cadillac has always had a reputation of being more of a luxury vehicle. When one thinks of a luxury vehicle they think expensive.

Toyota has a reputation of being a vehicle for the average everyday person. Toyota vehicles have a reputation of costing less money and being able to take a beating and keep running forever.

More importantly though, you are comparing an SUV to Mini-Van. A base model Escalade is $55,400 while a base model Sienna is $24,155. If you paid $55,400 or more for a mini-van I would say you got taken. In general, most people consider SUV's cool while mini-van's are considered the soccer mom's vehicle.

Answer 2

Escalades are dam neat cars. The day I see one all muddied up or dirty from being in the hills is the day I will call it an SUV. Although Toyota puts out an excellent product, it wwill never beat a Cadillac for luxury and sentimental value. Hell, I am only 48 and I am looking at Cadillacs now. Not the Escalade, it's a waste of money. I do like the older sedans though.

Answer 3

In my opinion the Escalade is way overpriced. Im an SUV guy..... but 50K for an Escalade?? My 03 Durango will embarras that.... I have the 360 with almost 400HP....after mods of course, 4WD and a tow package... the escalade dose'nt have any of that.....it has a 6.0 L engine at 345 Hp which inst bad....but the worst transmission in the world... the 4L60E....ugh.... mine in my blazer blew up.... im just saying it is overpriced, but still a good SUV. I guess GM is banking on the Cadillac name and raising the price.... bad move there.

Answer 4

Because they are an awesome vehicle. SUVs are very practical, and can be used for many things. I've had mine for about 6 years now, and I will never get anything different.
