When I said I would talk about how the Escalade V engine is better than the CT5-V Blackwing engine later in the video....I forgot. Basically it has a bigger supercharger. Sorry - Jakub

I love how Cadillac has been able to step away from being a grandpa car with the V brand.

Wow never heard an escalade sound like this, this thing is unbelievable

[austingutierrez]

Seeing an Escalade move that fast is terrifying 😂

[harryfp]

I love how everyone has been asking for a Tahoe like this for years and years but instead gm makes it an unattainable 180k caddy

[Scon]

People never expect a escalade to sound like that 🤣 definitely a head turner

I sold Cadillacs in the late 2000s as a 20 year old and was always so nervous. The people buying these Escalades are stroking a check for $75k and I drove an S10. Another salesman told me "who cares if they can afford it and you can't. They don't know that. Also, if the ask about the fuel economy move on because they cannot afford it." Dude was 100% correct. Never saw a customer buy an Escalade who asked about fuel economy in two years.

I like that GM is taking the opportunity for “one last hurrah” with this beast. I wonder how many of these they will make / sell.

I'm watching this a second time and it is still really impressive what Cadillac did here... that's a lot of weight moving for <5 second 0-60

[mattmitchell]

This is the happiest, most giggling I have seen you guys in a review in a while. Must be a fantastic, hilarious car!!!

[jessepriest]

Please keep making v8s like this I can’t wait to buy one in 50 years

[tomboy]

Torque management is killing that thing. You can hear it from a launch. A little tuning in stock form and she’ll be a monster

[wearethehaunted]

Love that it's only $180 G!! Makes it much more affordable.

[aqua_man]

I can’t afford one but I am so happy companies like dodge and Cadillac are putting out cars like this. So badass

[txterbug]

The launch doesn’t even look real it’s so insane. This car cost more than half my house. On another note - first time seeing your channel. Love the dynamic. Guy on the left is so chill. Guy on the right is geeked.

[NehalNabilShehata]

Can’t believe how it actually elevates when you speed up as if it’s getting ready to fly! Then it goes down when you slow down as if it’s touching ground again.. Amazing feeling!

[jamesboone]

All I have to say is "very good!" Generally... the sound of exhaust notes from accelerations don't translate very well into youtube audio which makes it difficult to analyze engine tuning, but this Escalade's acceleration exhaust note sounds very good from a "stock from the manufacturer" vehicle. I'm not really crazy about the crackling during decelerations to me it gives off the "not quite finely tuned" vibe. Now the price tag of over $150, 000 USD .... is frickin insane! All due respect...if you are gonna do it the "American way" ... this is America all day! Well done!

I liked this video. Always like the cars that just make you giggle like a child. Hellcats, turbo s 911, trackhawk etc. Friends dad had a linginfelter supercharged Denali back in 2005 or so. They finally built a factory version.

I remember back in the day environmentalist folks were bashing the Excursion and the H2 Hummer for its gas mileage. In 2022 there are more vehicles than EVER that get worse gas mileage, and for some reason, i LOVE it! Cuz car companies are doing sent offs, by the pound, before the EV invasion

[stillwaters]

This is so ridiculous and I love it. Makes no sense for a big boat like this to have this engine but im here for it. 8 miles per gallon. LOL
