I have to be honest. A number of years ago when Cadillac introduced their first SUV, I actually laughed. Why would the finest luxury car maker in the USA have any need to introduce a truck? I was dead wrong. Since then I have developed a deep and enduring respect for what has become the most desired SUV in the world.
My introduction to the Cadillac mystique came at a very early age. I first road in my grandfather’s two-toned turquoise and white 1957 Cadillac Coupe when I traveled with him and my grandmother from Troy to their summer home and business near Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. The anticipation of playing Davy Crockett in the Canadian backwoods soon gave way to a flood of unexpected awakenings. I spent two of the best days of my life sitting next to my grandfather as he unveiled all the reasons he had desired a Cadillac his entire life and how proud he was to finally own one. The front seat of Grandpa’s 1957 Cadillac was pure magic.
(Flash forward to present day)
I’ve been in a Cadillac or two since then but that feeling of magic didn’t return until I sat in a Cadillac Escalade for the very first time. Then I finally understood why Cadillac had chosen to build an SUV. This was a vehicle like no other and it truly possessed the soul of a Cadillac. The Escalade is the most acclaimed luxury SUV thanks to a blend of unique styling, spacious interior, powerful performance and agile handling. Its well-appointed cabin seats up to eight comfortably and features on-board equipment and technology to keep you and your entire family connected.
The interior of the Escalade is a sanctuary on wheels, with amenities like a leather and wood trimmed steering wheel that’s power tilt-adjustable and available heated. Plus, Tri-zone automatic climate control allows temperature conditions to be set for driver, front passenger and rear seat passengers, allowing you and your companions to travel in style and comfort. Magnetic Ride Control reads the road up to 1,000 times a second and adjusts to changing road conditions every five milliseconds, providing an almost instantaneous response to any road surface for enhanced confidence behind the wheel.
Touch-Screen Navigation allows the driver to effortlessly follow route guidance, while available XM Traffic provides real-time traffic information. What's more, a rearview camera lets you see what's behind the vehicle.
All this adds up to a compelling presence and world-class attention to detail, but The 2011 Cadillac Escalade offers more than just handsome good looks. This luxury Sport Utility Vehicle features a 403 hp engine, capable of towing up to 8,300 pounds. The first Cadillac to use Active Fuel Management, the Escalade senses when you don't need the full power of eight cylinders and automatically adjusts to run on four, saving you fuel. The Escalade delivers both power and efficiency, including impressive fuel economy that its competitors can't top plus a DVD-based navigation system with 8-inch diagonal touch-screen display and a premium Bose Sound System.
Another lesson life has revealed to me is, that true value rarely comes with the lowest price tag. True value is found by acquiring a product of the highest quality at the most competitive price possible and that’s where the team at Marquitz Buick Cadillac GMC in Troy, Missouri shines. Marquitz prices the Escalade more aggressively than any other dealer I’ve seen.
They’re Cadillac experts and they will work harder than any other dealer to get you the most for your trade and put you in the new Escalade at a payment that works for you. Maybe that’s why so many folks keep coming back to Marquitz… they treat you with courtesy and respect. That’s a breath of fresh air in this day and age.
Stop by Marquitz Buick Cadillac GMC in Troy and let them introduce you to the best vehicle you will ever drive or own. It is the world’s most desired SUV for a reason. In fact I could give you thousands of them but there’s one that matters most… its magic.
