I love them too, but they require more precision to move laterally, which is both good and bad. It dramatically lessens the chance of a 3-2 moneyshift. But it actually increases the likelyhood of a 2-1 or 4-3.
I would still WAY rather have one than not, and Pagani's are particularly beautiful since there's no console covering them up.

Which is better? In y’all’s opinion. I had the Yukon out today. The LXs I've sat in were no nicer than the Denali inside. Last gen for both is different, I just think GM knocked it out of the park. The Denali had an $82,000 sticker. This LX was I think $112,000. Why anyone would pay a cent more than that for an LX is beyond me. If they kept V8s alive it would be a tougher decision. Even with the Denali, the Escalade is a better comparison.... but I think the Caddy is also a waste of money above a Denali.

Let me see....
My guess is that you would choose the luxury trim of the Escalade and not the murdered out sport version. Those look great too.
Am I right or wrong?

For instance I have decided I prefer the M Sport 7 Series.

Walked up to this
No soft close
As part of my "replace the Jeep quest" I'm test driving any SUVs that can tow 7500+ and get better MPG, today was a 2012 GL450 with 57k miles.
I like how smooth it drives, extremely Mercedes like but there is a massive delay between commands and turn in/response. Interior is nice, adjustments are plentiful etc and there is some decent leather coverage in the main areas. Almost everything is padded vinyl but it's in good shape, nothing to complain about other than no soft close. Cargo area is large enough but I 1000% would feel weird putting engines back there and would need some serious protective padding/mats.
Overall I liked it far more than expected, again has an exceptionally smooth ride that surprised me.

I’ve had experiences with Yukons and LXs, albeit old one so I follow them both.
What would you choose? BOF only, I will limit it to that.

Very intriguing vehicle. 12 years old and only 57k? I like champagne colored vehicles even if they're linked to elderly drivers. MB's of this era all look great to me.

100% old person owned, suspension seems to work fine but I'm certain I'll need to replace struts at some point. Was sitting for about 3 weeks....

These are beautiful SUVs and I love the color of this one!
