If the RRS is the E92 M3 of the SUV world, the Yukon is a 1998 Camaro RS with 150,000 miles on it.

You can also smuggle people across the border inside the rear wheel well gap. So many things to gripe about with this thing.


Not even sure if your church van was worse or better. :

I dunno - I've drive the new Yukons and Tahoes and as long as they are in the Yukon Denali trim and the Tahoe LTZ trim, I thought they did a fantastic job from previous gens... I get why the price point is so much higher than previous as well...

Plus, the captains chairs in the back are not only comfortable for passengers but you can have some fun as well with some tinted windows...

Oh and even the Escalades are pretty spectacular... Again, with the right trim... Years past, they were just slightly tweaked versions of Yukon / Tahoe... Not so much anymore...

I only have experience with one other SUV, so my companion is fairly direct and somewhat skewed in price point.

If it didn't take so much gas, I would have loved to keep driving that thing instead of that shitty Nissan!


The van at least had room for activities and everyone was so jealous, you could see it in their eyes.

The seats in this thing are convex. You just slide off of them to the left because there is about 8" between the seat and the door. Presumably because their target demographic's BMI is well into the obese category.

Mercedes & RR have been doing AC seats for some time.

Denali trim !!! Then come back and complain about it...

If I had kids, I'd look into one... Again, Denali trim - handles like a small sedan...

Plus, magnetic ride... So good...

Magnetic Ride....it needs something to hold that 10,000 lbs on the road....

No thanks. I hear ya and different trim levels can make a difference but.... trim can also only do so much. Still has same chassis, still has same over all proportions and dimensions. Undoubtedly everything drifts more to the luxury side of things as well. Surely still has the same electronic annoyances. Plus, with Denali trim you're right back up there in the RRS price point.

Keep in mind that my OP about this boat was in reference to driving it. If i were to be driven around in something, this would be ok, not optimal, but reasonably ok.

Don't get me wrong... I'd much rather have a X5M if I suddenly had a family... Maybe even a X6...

Actually, I think I'd be perfectly happy with X5D (MSport)... I just respect what the Americans have done with the new gen of Yukon/Tahoe/ Escalade - they are finally competitive...

Bud light literally tastes like water and doesn't have enough alcohol content for my liking.

I was reading yesterday you like to drink Belgian white beers...
That's really interesting William...Which brand of Belgian beer do you drink brother ?

Just not so competitive that you'd much rather have one over the X5M or D.

Yeah, Shoei loves him some Escalade. In fact, I am pretty sure this is his actual car.

I still like performance... Free maintenance... ASB's frugalness is rubbing off on me...

Nope, totally wasn't me. It was the new guy *JTODD*, that indulges in feminine beers.

Exactly why i'm not driving an American SUV.

I drove the Q5s from Audi, the X5M, Cayenne, Explorer sport, Grand Cherokee SRT and Durango SRT all before i bought the RRS SC. Of those tested prior to purchase, i liked the X5M the best in terms of driving. But the RRS has such similar performance figures and very similar driving feel. But the RRS is able to maintain a much more compliant daily driving comfort level and in my opinion, looks better. Not to mention that it was about $20k less expensive.

X5d or Touareg TDi are the ones to consider...

DPF and AdBlue delete + tune = BEAST

...and 35 MPG!!!!

Can't think of a better time to get a VW, lol... But no... I've always liked the X5D... same neighbor I mentioned in the other thread with the X4M? They have a X5D as well... Sounds beastly when in idle... Louder than my car... =/
