Well, with those numbers, GM has a guaranteed sales base with the rapper/NBA players community.

I'm not normally a big fan of silver, but that particular shade of silver combined with the exterior trim is a good-looking package. 
Ordinarily, I would say that 24" wheels are absurdly large, but they don't seem to excessively fill up the wheel wells, and the tires (fortunately) don't seem to be the excessively low-profile, rubber-band type either. Still, I doubt that it has the ride comfort of a standard Escalade.....they obviously don't call it "Sport" for nothing.
I also hope the "high-performance" brake package actually MEANS something. For too many years, even on the all-new 2007 designs, the brakes on full-size GM SUV's could only be described as Mush-O-Matic or Push-and-Pray.
