Wow, I was thinking more in line with Yukon pricing, not substantially more than Denali pricing. Then again, I never really looked into until right now. But still ... it seems very strange to be considering a Toyota a luxury vehicle (no matter the price) while Lexus exists.



Oh well, doesn't matter.

2015 Escalade Platinum ....

One thing people dont realize about the Land Cruiser is it has no options.

It only comes fully loaded like the Lexus LX570. Nav, 360 surround cameras, smart key, adaptive cruise, full leather interior for 8, DVD, console fridge, AWD with Low range, Crawl control, heated and cooled seats for first 2 rows, heated wipers, Trail turning system, Multi terrain select, KDSS suspension system, 8400# tow capacity. Arguably the most offroad capable stock vehicle in the world, the computer can dig itself out of sand and mud when burried to the floorpans. You know its got offroad roots when they come with hydraulic winches stock everywhere but the US.

It definitely doesnt have the excellent styling of the Cadillac though, its pretty bland like the rest of the Toyota line. Plus the Cadillac is getting the new 8 speed which is great news.

Because if you are still going to put in the center console why not? I wouldnt mind it on the steering column if they left room for for an extra seat or something useful other than a cup holder... I had a F150 XLT that had a center console that folded back so an extra seat was used. I could then seat 6 people... also the shifter on the steering column looks dated to me...

These car prices are really getting out of hand! I mean i know things cost more but jeez, the prices on trucks now will give you a heart attack! I remember paying $14k for my brand new 1994 Tbird and $19k for my 2002 Z28, it seems like everything doubled and tripled in price in just a decade!

I guess they can't please everybody. I would much rather have additional space in the console, or an additional cupholder than waste that space with a gear select.

If a non-dated look is what you're looking for, would you rather have something like this? Or maybe a push button.
