Back again...

After 2K miles in the 2015 Escalade....it will never "feel" like the GL....YES, the luxury, and the fit/finish are just as good ( or even better in some aspects) .. but the ride is "truckish" ...but that's ok with me, because i do "trucky" things with my SUV's....having the same 360 cam issues, paint on the GL is a lot more "durable".....tech in the Caddy is easier to use, built in WIFI is nice....4WD in the Caddy is outstanding and "aggressive" , I needed that....Caddy went to full LED headlights ....just amazing...even though I'm probably blinding everyone else! If I were buying for a "family hauler"...the GL is still the top....if you need (want) the luxury in a more "rugged" and larger package....the Caddy is perfect! Best to all........

Nope..... On another note.....it was warm enough and dry enough this morning to get my Corvette out of storage and really have some "driving fun!!" I"ll keep checking back here to see how the 2016 speculation is going and to help out with any questions after my 8yrs of GL's. Cheers to all!
