Honestly. Dahling I say go for WHAT YOUR HEART TELLS YOU. Lexuses rule but Escalades, well, I mean don't they have spinners. IDK GOSH Y DO U PRESSURE ME LIKE THIS????? I THOUGHT WE WERE HAPPY WITH CARS FROM THE DOLLAR STORE!!!
Wow, a lot of people like calling Lexus a glorified Toyota....then what about the Caddy? Its nothing more than a glorified Chevy Tahoe. And you're still supporting the economy b/c the Lexus is built in the US. Look it up if you need proof about that.
I'll go ahead and pick the Lexus. Disregarding fuel econ (better in any Lexus, trust me), the build quality is much better. My last car was a Lexus and was extremely reliable. In fact, I never had to do anything to it. Just change the oil, a tune up now and then, and the occasional set of brakes.
It doesnt really have that bling factor, but if thats what you want get the Caddy. Also, I've never had an Escalade, but I've have friends w/ them. The service at the dealer is nowhere near the Lexus standards.
But, regardless of what anyone tells you, make your own choice. Drive them both, see what makes you happy, and drive that home.
You're comparing a stereotyped GM to a Lexus? get out.
If you want a car that every black guy that thinks he's a "player" owns, get an Escalade. That's really the only reason I can think to buy one. GM has terrible service, and it's basically a Suburban with a body kit.
Lexus has OUTSTANDING service, extremly long life, and they're much more classy. We've got two - and I wouldn't take buy any thing less. They're better engineered, and they're backed up by the company that makes the most reliable cars on the road - toyota.
"Escalade...It's a Cadillac"
What kind of advice is that? "Escalade...b/c u know u wanna be a rapper with poor style and big ugly rims, and be backed by terrible service, poor resale value, poor engineering and build quality, and so much more!"
Lexus SUV's are much more classy. They will last longer. They have some of the best service in the world (they catered one of my parties because we bought a new RX from them - I was amazed), they'll hold their value, their build quality is nothing short of brilliant, and they'll quietly outperform an Escalade while requiring almost no service, ever. You shouldn't even have to ask this question.
There's not a single Lexus on the road that was built in the U.S. All Lexus' come from Japan or Canada.
I would recommend Lexus. I assume that you're talking about the LX, right? That's the SUV comparable to the Escalade. Anyway, I test drove the LX and then the Escalade. The Escalade's ride isn't anything compared to how smooth the LX's ride is. Even if you're not talking about the LX, I have more stories. I test drove an ES ($35k) and then the Cadillac STS ($48k) and the STS rode like a Toyota Corolla. The ES handled potholes and railroad tracks like they weren't even there. And you should have heard it on the freeway. There was barely any road noise. Lexus might be a glorified Toyota, but that's what it is, glorified. It's absolutely the best brand of car out there. Quality, durability, reliability, luxury, convinience, and satisfaction comes with every Lexus.
it really depends on which lexus you're talkinga bout you can't just say escalade or lexus because you can't compare the escalade to the IS lexus. escalade's competition i think is the brand new 2008 lexus LX 570. because they are both in the upper $60 thousand range. i love the way the new escalade design looks but the interior looks like a hummer H1 too big. the lx 570 however has an ugly design but the interior makes you think it's a mercedes maybach ($300,000+) personally i think lexus is more luxurious because when you think of luxury cars the first 3 makes that usually come to mind is mercedes, bmw and lexus. then followed by the caddilac's, infinite's and so on.
theres no need to ask just look how much they depreciate, a 2003 Escalade is what 25k, and any 03 lexus is at least 30k, lexus is the best car for the price

A Lexus is a lot better than an Escalade.

Definitely a LeXuS!
ThEy R thE BeSt anD The R So HigH iN QualiTy!!
Go for the Escalade it is so much better, as Cadillac is -in my opinion- better than Lexus.
Lexus! If you're going to drive around in a road going pansyass luxury pseudo-SUV, you might as well get the one that's designed better.
Lexus, dear. More prestigious.
