I have owned my 4x4 QX56 for a little over 4 months and I am ready to move on to another suv. It has had both pros and cons but I just do not think the truck is what I want anymore. I am in the market for another luxury suv that has a little more power. So far I have come up with 3 vehicles that suit what I am looking for.

07 Cadillac Escalade (403hp)
06 Land Rover Range Rover S/C(400hp)
05 Mercedes G55 AMG(469)

So far I am liking the Cadillac the most b/c I was able to see my n'bors for a week while they were out of town. It is a major upgrade from the previous model. Last years model had nothing on the QX56 but this 07 Escalade out does it in almost every category. The interior is the best feature on it especially with the 8 INCH NAVIGATION SCREEN:D , 2nd row power fold seats, and 2nd row heated seats. This truck really puts my baby(QX) to shame. The power is amazing for a vehicle this size....i hand timed it 4x 0 to 60 in under 6.2 seconds( we have no tracks around here..lol) Their are 2 things that make want to rethink if I should get this vehicle. 1) way to low to do any off roading @ all 2) it might become like the previous models and they will be everywhere(couple of TEENS in my subdivision have them) and I just don't want it if it is going to be all over the place like the previous models.

My second choice is the Range Rover Super Charged. I owned a 04 Range Rover( traded ) and loved it so much. I was able to take it off road STOCK and I mean some serious trail blazing. Not to many upgrades from the model I owned other than sound system(700+ watts),backup camera, and s/c model available. The best thing about owning one was I didn't see to many on the rode like I saw the cadillacs.

Third choice would be the MB G55 AMG and the only reason why I am even considering it is b/c it is capable of a little off roading and b/c of the 469 hp V8. The wifey has a SL55 so I know how fast these AMG engines are.
Interior is the worst out of the 3 but the ext. is not so bad though.

So what vehicle should i get.....

i feel the same way about the 07 escalade, but i also agree with you about this vehicle being everywhere... so looks like you want power out of all of this... why not work on the QX? S/C, intake, exhuast, jus to name a few mods??? Probably could line up with an 07 Esc. with all the mods i mentioned and beat the $h!t out of it... they say 403hp but is that from the rwhp? jus my opinion... I've thought about goin down your road, but in my area, not much QX(i like that), and for the diff. of buying the 07, it would go toward my mods... :D jus my humble opinion...

Looks like you managed to do what every major car testing company couldn't do, that was to get the Escalade to do 0-60 below 7 seconds.

i hand timed it 4x 0 to 60 in under 6.2 seconds.

I don't believe this. Either you were going really steep downhill with a strong tailwind, or your hand timing is way off. No way those things can do that. Plus, keep in mind that Nissan is known for under-stating hp (dyno data shows 275+ rear wheel hp from Titan / Armadas, rated by Nissan at 305 hp for the engine only), and GM vehicles typically perform much worse than their hp figures would suggest (except for the Vet; man, those things haul!). Is this just a case of wanting the latest vehicle on the block?

I agree with Campfam,you don't know Nismo and all it can do for your big beast. You can look good and still be fast as you know what. Caddy is just an expensive trend if you think that bling-bling is your thing-thing go for it. I'll stick to my Nissan a mod that motor. Theres parts coming out new left and right for this ride. I know this Nissan motor can woop some tail if you do it right. Look at the BRE Datsun 510, or the Z. If I had the spare ends just like you do I can trick this Mada like nothing. I got a family to provide for. I just save my lunch money.:) Think about it. Caddy aint all that. I see them on the road. But I think your into just looking good. So be it. I think your coveting your neighbors ride too much. Good luck.

Agreed, something is a bit fishy. OK, I'll say it; TROLL

You are in the wrong Forum to ask such a question:bonvoyage

I don't know where you live man, but around here...in the greater Toronto area, Canada....the Escalade has become a very hot item for car thieves...like epidemic level. I think that every neighbour in my sub-division who owns an Escalade has had it stolen.

Joe

I looked at the 07 Caddy, The center console rocks side to side about 2 inches. I was told that was just that one but we opened 2 more with the same rocking. 2 of the 5 on the lot had the badges on the back pealing off. I know we have had our issues with the 04’s but GM has been making this vehicle for years and I expected for from Caddy then that. Looked at the 07 Tahoe and thought that held up better then the Caddy. I owned a 01 Denali and it rattled like you would not believe. GM would do nothing about it Nissan has had me in fixing every little squeak I could find. MHO is to mode that QX you would save money and be unique.

Well I joined b/c I am a QX56 owner

Test drove the Range Rover S/C today and all I can say is WHOA! after driving it I know its the suv for me but it can't tough worth sh!@..u cant beat the 9,000 lbs QX can tow so I am going to KEEP the QX and get the RR S/C. I have a couple of toys I need to tow that only the QX can handle.

****I forgot to mention that my n'bors escalade has some mods on it no sure exactly what though.

:confused: I'm happy with my 'mada, also have a HD3500 d. 6.6 and there's no comparison, but if I wanted to look like my neighbours kid or a rapper with bling-bling I'd go the caddy route too.......good luck

Uh, QX has second row heated seats standard. As for speed, its been track tested slower than the QX, less power and torque on the Dyno, and worse mileage.

Range Rover acceleration is the same until you hit 114. It goes 141. It is smaller however. Reliability is worse, but its better off road.

MB is junk next to the above crowd. Germans still don't get SUV. However, if you want speed, get a Cayenne or Jeep SRT-8. They are fast. If you want Luxury, wait for the next LX Lexus. I'd skip the bad motor first year vehicle probem GMs regardless. ;)

well one would have to believe that infiniti is not going to sit back and let caddy and landrover be the only 400hp luxury suv's i would wait and see what infiniti is going to do before you trade you q chances are once you traded it infiniti will come out with something better thats what im doing with my armada im going to wait until the 07 comes out and see what it has to offer i have been checking the nissan site the have 07 cars but nothing for trucks and suvs just food for thought

He sounds kind of like a troll to me but i wont judge him until its proven.... As for the Caddy, i already posted a review for the concept(looks the same), rapper rims, durango rear, big minivan on dubs. I still say the Qx is the better looking car and for prestige the Qx out does the Caddy. THe Caddy is for old people, rappers and pimps. What im waiting for is the diesel Qx56 i heard a rumor somewhere that its gonna push out 500+ ft lbs of torque, that things gonna haul some serious ***. O and technosquare has an Ecu mod that removes the Limiter but you will want to invest in some high performance street rubber then. LAstly from what i've seen the Qx is faster than the Rover and Caddy and it ties with the Rover in the skid pad and slalom as well.

THe Caddy is for old people, rappers and pimps.

Pretty much, except its also for people who like going to get it repaired, or posers pretending they were rappers or pimps. Great role models. The next in thing will be posing as addicts. :crikey:

Talking about performance with cadillac check the Armada spec not much difference for a 403 HP and a 7700 Lbs towing max,Huh,big deal!!! http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/c...-106/index.htm http://www.trucktrend.com/roadtests/...finder_armada/

Oh!! here is the cadillac specs. http://www.edmunds.com/new/2007/cadillac/escalade/100672735/specs.html

Oh!! here is the cadillac specs. http://www.edmunds.com/new/2007/cadillac/escalade/100672735/specs.html
Acceleration (0-60 mph): 7.58 sec. with 400+hp?
Maybe trolls weigh less so they can get 6.2secs

Ok some of you all are taking this a little to serious. The only thing I said was I was getting rid of my QX and wanted to some help in my decision of what to get next. You get mad b/c I like the Cadillac Escalade..you have to be kidding. MOST of you all wouldn't be saying that if you drove one or at-least seen the interior compared to the QX56..its really like comparing Diamonds to CZs. I purchased the qx b/c it was somewhat a luxury suv( nothing more than an upscale armada) that could tow a lot b/c I have several toys. Before the QX I had a RR but I never towed with it so I traded my RR for 06 QX56. So far I have not had any problems other than the lifegate not working(fixed now) I see no reason to get mad b/c I said I am getting a new suv and at the same time keeping the QX(towing)
Personally( MY OPINION!) the RR S/C is better than the QX. You all can only speak for the QX but I have owned both the RR and still own the QX and I can tell you that the RR is far more superior. Maybe its not as big or can not tow as much but it does have ULTRA luxury and the POWER I am looking for. The thing that really made me decide on the RR S/C is that I know land rovers are VERY reliable vehicles...you still see some of the 1980s RR on the road to this day. I can not speak on how reliable the QX56 is b/c its only been in production for a couple of years and the 1st 2 years they proved not to be that reliable. Before you call the QX56 reliable atleast wait till it is 5YR olds.

Range Rovers have long lives but also need frequent repairs. There is a difference between reliable and durable. As for speed, they are rated the same. Maybe the RR feels faster, but it ain't. As for liking the caddie or not, who cares. The interior is nice. But they break and don't tow much. Its also a first year vehicle which are notorious for problems. Finally, when you had yoru original post, it made you suspect that you even own a QX as you didn't know there was second row heated seats. That coupled with the first post being a negative and time to sell one is highly suspect. Post some pics of your QX and RR please. :hi:

Look at Land Rover RR history (30+ yrs) compared to the QX history(less than 5) and you will see there is no comparison between the two. The RR is far superior than the QX and Im not just saying that b/c i read reviews its b/c I have owned both models

Didn't mean to mention heated seats...copied and paste from my key notes about 07 escalade.

I DO NOT HAVE THE RR yet..i had one but i traded it for the QX but I will be getting RR S/C either Saturday or Monday. When i get it I will post pics of it




******0-60 TIMES**********
Many of you need to realize that just b/c the vehicle was tested @ going 0 to 60 in less than 7secs means its going to do it. There is a such thing as a GOOD and AVG model cars. Some of you all might be able to go 0-60 in 6.6secs while others it might take more than 7.2secs. Just because are built exactly the same does not mean the will necessary peform the same.
to prove my point just check out the links...

I know you came in here asking about some advice on what to get, so there you have it. You got everybodies opinion and then some. Get what ever you like. Just do it and stop complaining about peoples opinions. Just put you money where your mouth is. If I could change my SUV's like I change my shoes my Armada would make all those GM and German rides bow down and eventually will. But I know what Nissan is capabale of doing no doubt. You get the ride that fits you and stick to it. Apparantley you sound like a baller out of control wanting every ride that feels good. I want a ride thats going to work for me for a long long time with the least maitanence. As you see these people here in this club are a testimony that the Mada and QX are the bomb. Good Luck.

I couldn't have said it better!:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

He should join the Escalade, Range Rover or whatever club then!

Acceleration (0-60 mph): 7.58 sec. with 400+hp?
Maybe trolls weigh less so they can get 6.2secs

C'mon, he used the ultraaccurate track-proven wristwatch with the but dyno. Can't get any more accurate than that.

And who cares about 30 years of RR history. What does that have to do with a new supercharged model? That's like the Jeep guys crowing the new Grand Cherokee is great because of WW2. Bottomline, its an English vehicle, quirky, and prone to minor problems. Nothing that will leave you stranded, but frequent visits to the shop for fixes, much more so than an '05+ QX. Have fun on the RR board. :ugogirl:

Rover electrical systems have kept food on the mechanics table for decades and I suspect with the complexity of the modern automobile the Rover mechanics family will be well fed for years to come.

I researched Land and Range Rover models, and the new ones are having hell with "suspension faults". The complex suspension systems just aren't working right- I would be leary of purchasing one.

I have owned my 4x4 QX56 for a little over 4 months and I am ready to move on to another suv. It has had both pros and cons but I just do not think the truck is what I want anymore. I am in the market for another luxury suv that has a little more power. So far I have come up with 3 vehicles that suit what I am looking for.

07 Cadillac Escalade (403hp)
06 Land Rover Range Rover S/C(400hp)
05 Mercedes G55 AMG(469)

So far I am liking the Cadillac the most b/c I was able to see my n'bors for a week while they were out of town. It is a major upgrade from the previous model. Last years model had nothing on the QX56 but this 07 Escalade out does it in almost every category. The interior is the best feature on it especially with the 8 INCH NAVIGATION SCREEN:D , 2nd row power fold seats, and 2nd row heated seats. This truck really puts my baby(QX) to shame. The power is amazing for a vehicle this size....i hand timed it 4x 0 to 60 in under 6.2 seconds( we have no tracks around here..lol) Their are 2 things that make want to rethink if I should get this vehicle. 1) way to low to do any off roading @ all 2) it might become like the previous models and they will be everywhere(couple of TEENS in my subdivision have them) and I just don't want it if it is going to be all over the place like the previous models.

My second choice is the Range Rover Super Charged. I owned a 04 Range Rover( traded ) and loved it so much. I was able to take it off road STOCK and I mean some serious trail blazing. Not to many upgrades from the model I owned other than sound system(700+ watts),backup camera, and s/c model available. The best thing about owning one was I didn't see to many on the rode like I saw the cadillacs.

Third choice would be the MB G55 AMG and the only reason why I am even considering it is b/c it is capable of a little off roading and b/c of the 469 hp V8. The wifey has a SL55 so I know how fast these AMG engines are.
Interior is the worst out of the 3 but the ext. is not so bad though.

So what vehicle should i get.....

I looked back to my Car and Driver May 2006 issue page 78. They tested an '07 Escalade 6.2L, 0 to 60 in 6.3 seconds. You're almost exactly right. It's very quick for an SUV this big.

I too look at the 07 Caddy and got sucked in by the 22 inch factory wheels. I need to trade my 04 QX56, (for tax reasons) for something else. I considered the 07 Caddy and 07 EXT for a brief second, I tow a 22 foot boat and the QX is rated for 9k lbs the Caddy are 7500!. I also would hate to give up my laser cruise just for some neat Intellibeam headlights. Anyone have advance info on the 07 QX? I know that the FX series will be coming out with a FX25 and the G series gets a makeover and becomes a Mini M. What about the QX for 07? Bigger Nav screen maybe? Thanks in advance for you comments

How do people afford to switch out a vehicle after only 4 months? can you say upside down..

ppl complain too much lol, i'm just happy with the Armada because it's reliable, quick enough (it's not like i'm gunna race in it anyways), comfortable, amazing tow cap., and overall best priced :cool:

i understand changing every 1 - 1.5yrs but every 4months? LOL
I aggree with Hulio. Armada is overall best package for price. Ok they have problems, but who doesn't???

my .02 cents!

What is wrong with you ????? The QX56 is the better value and was ranked higher by Car and Driver! Have fun with your Escalade! If I had to replace my QX, I at least would get something reliable like a Navigator!:( :confused:

The Cadi looks nice on the outside. The inside looks cheep to me. As for dependabilty, well its a GM, need I say more?

I use to own nothing but American cars because, Well, I'm an American, but after nothing but trouble with my "F"ix-"O"r-"R"epair-"D"aily" and my sons Chysler in the shop once a week and my wifes Vette rattling her teeth out and leaking oil after 10K miles, untill American car builders go to Japan and learn the secret of car building, I'm going export.

P.S. These opinions do not apply when Talking about my American built bike. hehe :) Nothing like a Harley!!!

The QX 56 and Nissan Armada have absolutly nothing to do with japanese car-building or japanese car-quality...
they are american build and (was conciders the squeaks and rattles) it´s whorse than american average quality... at least with the 04´th

American built with Japanese assembly line techniques. Big difference than GM in the past. By the way, I'd take an American car over a German one buddy. :)

The new Tundra is coming with 5.7L VVT 381hp, The new Sequoia will not be far behind, thus in my crystal ball I see a VVT Armada with ~400hp in the near future. Nissan will not let Toyota upstage their V8 for any length of time, especially in the Titan.

i just got back from the auto show here in florida and the only car i would even think about trading my qx56 for would have to be the new 07 navigator http://www.edmunds.com/new/2007/lincoln/navigator/index.html thats it i think the escaladeis so overpriced and if you wanted to go that route just get the GMC denali has everything the escalade has but less money, but i do like the navigator, but i do have to say, im keepin my QX

Someone that trades their car in after 4 months. Not upside down but RICH...

I did not read anything in this thread that would lead me to believe he was a troll. Did I miss something?

Yea, it's common for dudes from other boards to come along and post threads like this just to get responses. This dude has enough $$$$ to be looking at brand new QX56, RR, and Cadillac but has the grammer of a 12yr old, I don't think so. Most of the QX owners I know of, like you for example, are better educated than that and have no problem displaying it in everything they do and would never be struggling with proper grammer and spelling of so many words like this guy was.

My guess is he was just a RICH dumbass... :D

What the hell is a Troll? LMAO @ the Troll spray!

When I first read the thread title, I immediately thought; " WHAT A DOUCHE".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_troll

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[2]

I had to look it up last year to figure out what they meant by calling someone a Troll. - hehe

The Escalade may have more horsepower, but its maximum hauling capabilities are muchless. You gotta look at the whole package.

Go with the porche cayenne turbo. It'll smoke all your choices.

Dude, the Armada and QX56 are made in Alabama by american workers, Yes their principles are Japanese based but those principles were actually developed by an american (6 sigma lean manufacturing)

I am pretty sure they are made in Canton, Mississippi.

I thought it was Smyrna, Tennessee

Now I'm confused:confused:

All I know they were Made In The USA....:)

Canton, MS.

By the way, you guys know that this post is over 2 years old! The guy that posted it hasen't been here since 11-24-2006.

I have to agree wid black spyda to, Your first post is about getting rid of your mada. I could understand if you wanted an escalade because of the more cargo room inside and the the longer wheelbase, but in the case of power there are lots of things to make the mada get more horsepower, plus the escalade is just to over rated, everyone wants a escalde cause its a cadiilac. You are definately in the wrong place brother. Go buy your cadillac and join the escalade club cause this is for the real hardcore mada people, we will defend our madas in here. Good luck on your purchase.

just realize the post is ova two years old black spyda lol. Did he ever purchase the escalade

Canton, MS.

Good then I guess he is not going to be mad if he doesn't see that we called him a Rich Dumbass Troll! :D

You guys sure that the MADA is not just assembled in Canton, MS. There is a big difference between "Assembled in the USA" and "Made in the USA". ;)

Did a quick search - and the verdict is in! It's an assembly plant.

Assembled or built, still Yep, Titan, Armada and QX56 are made in Canton, MS.

What's a Yep?

The chrome on our front bumpers has "Hecho en Mexico" stamped into it on the bottom underneath the Airdam Lip. :D I think it might be just an assembly plant but that's more Americans working on it than GM has. I also think the Smyrna Plant assembles Frontiers, Pathfinders, Xterras while the Canton Plant assembles Titans, Armadas. I don't know of any Nissan plant in Alabama.

What's a Yep?
Yep = Yeah, yes, Uh huh, Fo Shizzle, si... you get my drift! :2cool:

I knew that - I was just making sure you knew that Nissan Yep's were not made in Canton, MS. :D

I put Yep into the wrong part of your context in your earlier statement.

Yep - I get your drift.

Fo Shizzle! :2cool:

Not the troll spray, thats a classic! lol you dont have to do him like that. lol

I figured it was already done so we could still get a good laugh out of the spray can. -hehe :D

I found this about the Canton plant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzEh8rDm1SA

Sorry, I meant Mississippi.

The new car itch affects everyone, but ANYBODY i know with a Caddy has had big issues with them (check used car values)...... My cuzn had a 99 Escalade and nothing but issues with overheating and electrical problems all hitting him between 90 and 110k. My mans 02 DTS with NorthStar didn't even have 100k and drank a quart of oil EVERY other week........

My call for anyone thinking of goin' down the same road........
Observations show that any caddy is str8 out the gate but almost all of the first owners get out of them before 70-80k when the youngins think they are getting a good deal.......then while they stretch out they pockets payin' that note and way outta warranty status........HERE COME THE PROBLEMS with the NorthStar and anything ELECTRICAL........

Be unique. The QX56 body ain't gonna change(they ain't makin' no mo), so they'll age well, and an 04 with a mod or two can't be easily seperated from an 08-09.......


LOVIN' MY 05 QX56 4LIFE!!!!

How is it that you just signed up to the club today and your first post talks about getting rid of your QX56? Hmmmm!

Do your thing!

LOL.......................:p
