I want a maroon "Caddy red" Escalade. With the reddish leather seats. And the column shifter.

Anyone see what I'm getting at?

That's the closest thing possible to an old school Caddy you can get.

Oddly there was a recent bmw that debuted with mechanical shifter - the 2nd generation X1, but I believe it also now has electronic shifter after the refresh.

Button shifters free up some console space, but there is just something aesthetically pleasing about traditional center console shifters, even if they are electronic.

like how people blindly still stick to analog speedometers when i can just display a number on the screen. Or even worse when you have full LCD gauges but then end up making it still look like old analog gauges

I prefer analog speedometers, even within a LCD setup. But thats the great thing about these LCD setups, you can have multiple display options. I don't believe "cars MUST have analog gauges" lol

I agree with someone above who mentioned the C pillar looks messy. Why does the C pillar have so many different shapes and material surfaces? Looks very busy and unattractive.

The Yukon Denali interior is better in person. Have to say, the pop up tablet is a nicer design
