All those former customers will have to go Buick now.

it's uniquely american - loud, obnoxious, in your face, humongous.
i don't look forward to seeing these cruise ship sized vehicles on the road.

Our LX doesn't have that.
Got to give Detroit credit for certain things. The vibrating seat I feel like is another very "American" feature that I love.
Neat, it's just a la-de-dah thing that is cool AF.

Many have that feature but not all

That's half the point....
Nobody has to be an "Escalade person" but they're pretty freaking nice. The driving position is one of the best parts, maybe "stupidly high" but I love that. People GTF out of your way and respect the size. You don't have to wait much to merge. You get used to the size and it's really easy to drive once you get used to it. You would get used to it easily on Florida's flat, large, wide roads.

Lol I'm not mad and I'm not suggesting any conspiracies.
But the green push from the mags is there and has been. You don't think they're (or can be) bought and paid for because you are on that side of the spectrum, you don't care that V8s are gone and are eager to go full EV. Which is cool, but the push was nauseating for those who aren't really into EVs. They've finally quit with it all, I no longer see 75 blogs a day on my FB about EVs anymore.

@AJT123 I think it was you that predicted that Americans want big V8s

Americans in that segment want big V8s, not elsewhere in the industry.

Wrong. Buick itself does not sell those type of large sedans in the U.S. any more. That went out with the demise of the Lacrosse and Regal....which are still offered in China.
About the only remaining large sedans in the U.S. are from Genesis and German manufacturers....and they cost FAR more than the Lacrosse ever did.

The Lexus ES is an affordable large sedan
