Some Cadillacs I would agree with you, but others not as much. I don't
get in very many of them, but i have had two SRX's as rental cars in the
past, the first one, while very comfortable, had a cheap looking ugly
interior, the other one i had a year or so later was much nicer. I
don't know if it was a different trim level or model year difference.
That said, even the second one was cheap crap compared to the Lexus and
BMW interiors that I've driven or ridden in.

I have to disagree a little here. I think that the Escalade has a
place, just not in my garage. I'd rather not try to cram a luxury car,
a family car, and a truck into one chassis, but some do.
