The GM Authority Take

The decline in Escalade deliveries during March is puzzling, as it represents the second month in a row in which the full-size luxury SUV has posted a decrease in cumulative sales volume. Even so, Escalade January sales posted a 10 percent sales increase in the U.S. and 1.3 percent sales increase in Canada.

  1. With the average fantasy land pricing of one of these going in the 85-95K range it’s no small wonder sales are slipping. The new 2018 Navigator will also dig into sales until the idiot running Cadillac gets a clue and gives this badge engineered Chevy the updates it needs starting with the old fashioned rear suspension design and a proper shifting 8 speed transmission.
