It's not just a question of speed...unlike the other two, the LR3 is a true off-roader. The Benz and Caddy are luxo-SUV's designed primarily for dry pavement, and in the Caddy's case, heavy towing.

Those trucks are pretty damn fast.

But I'm confused. Wasnt it MotorTrend that just picked the Escalade over Range Rover HSE S/C a few months ago?? All of a sudden it now loses to a much cheaper LR3 that is more off road oriented??

NAH!! They cant be that dumb, can they?? I hope I'm thinking of another magazine.

Yup MotorTrend is the one that picked the Escalade over the Range Rover HSE S/C back in May I have that issue. LR3 over the Escalade though.... maybe GL450...gosh these things are fast by the way. They should have thrown in the Audi Q7 instead.

I gotta say the new Escalade looks extremely NICE inside and out, and it has a great engine.........GM did an excellent job, they are all over NYC already.
