2008 Cadillac Escalade Base 4 Wheel Drive review from North America
"The rap artists favorite vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Been problem free!
General comments?
This is my 3rd Escalade. I had the 2002 and the 2006 model before buying this one. Both of them were the short wheelbase models, and so is this one. The 2002 and the 2006 were black outside and inside, and so is this one.
I am a local rap artist and in my 20's, and I always pimp my vehicles with custom stereo systems and fancy rims, and 2 TV's in the back of the front headrests.
I absolutely love these vehicles to death. My wife and my 2 kids love them too. They are full of luxury doodads. They ride great, and are very fast on the highway. Plus, they are very roomy as well.
Being a local rap artist, I see lots of these with the fancy rims and cool stereo systems in them. A few of my friends who are also local rap artists have these, and love them. I have no plans on getting rid of this one anytime soon. In fact, I will be getting another one for my wife real soon.
So if you like the Escalade, no matter which model you get, you will be in for a treat!! No wonder they are so popular with rap artists like myself and other diehard fans. One test drive will ice the cake.
