2016 HPE650 GMC Yukon XL Is A Hennessey Escalade By Another Name

Looking good is one thing, but looking good while moving at high speeds is another. The 2016 GMC Yukon XL isn’t a slouch with its small-block V8 under hood, but it won’t win you many stoplight drag races. That’s where Hennessey Performance Engineering steps in.
The 2016 HPE650 GMC Yukon XL provides the extra oomph a small segment of customers are likely clamoring for. With 650 hp coming from a supercharged 5.3-liter V8 engine, and 22-inch wheels hiding big Brembo brakes, the Yukon XL begins to actually put the “sport” in sport utility vehicle.
This upgrade will likely please the Trailblazer SS crowd looking for a more luxurious ride, but still with plenty of power on the daily. HPE will gladly perform the operation as of now, and it will look great residing next to an HPE Cadillac Escalade.

I honestly want them to do the 6.2
Question: Why are Yucan, Suburban, Tahoe and Escalade essentially identical? This feels so 1980s GM. Can’t The General give each vehicle unique body designs like Malibu and Regal get?
I like the extra Escalade bells, wissles and chrome but would sooner save money on the Chevy varient which is nice, too.
