An Escalade is just a tarted up Tahoe.

It may have nice leather and decent plastics (fantastic compared to the utter crap on the Tahoe... but let's not kid ourselves... they're nowhere near as good as the best European SUVs in terms of material quality)... but it still rides like a Tahoe and drives like one. I'd rather have an Expedition... it's not great, but you're not paying a ridiculous premium for something that isn't remotely worth it.

The H2 is also just a tarted-up GM truck. Even worse, it's got worse visibility.
