Day-by-Day Review: 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8GT; Day 3
So the Genesis Coupe isn't the most practical sports car around, says James, but what really matters here is how the car drives. And it's in that department that this car really shines, he says.

Test Drive:
2007 Cadillac Escalade AWD

2007 Cadillac Escalade AWDLaurance Yap says it's a "bit of a shame" that the Escalade is hitting the market at a time when gas prices are so high because "it really is a very impressive large SUV."  Unique to the Escalade is a 6.2-litre V8 producing 403 horsepower, and a six-speed automatic transmission. "Despite its size and weight, the new Cadillac Escalade actually feels nimble in most everyday driving situations," he says.    More...

I am not that impressed with its interior materials, despite of all the claims that GM has improved a lot with its fit-and-finish. There are still tons of hard plastic on the center console and dashboard.

What is the definition of hard plastic?   Roll Eyes

Anyway, the new Caddy bling blling mobile is very impressive in person.  Looks good, but that belt buckle emblem on the back is the size of Uranus.  Inside looks very well designed and is worth noting.

That anus must be big.....you can see inside the thing!  Is that what new leather smells like?

The new Escalade is hugely improved in the looks department IMO... but I still despise it. Might have something to do with those annoying ads on the top of the index page  Roll Eyes

+1.  It looooooks stunning.

But
Like a tank, the Escalade is big on the outside, but not actually that big on the inside.

I sat in the new Escalade and found I couldn't comfortably fit in the 2nd row seats, let alone the third, or even the first without putting the seat all the way back.  What gives?

I still found GX470 the most comfortable vs Escalade, Navigator and QX56.
