It is a free car, but if you said any other comparable SUV I would have been just as happy for you. Escalades do have a bigger engine. Its got a lot of nuts for something made entirely of plastic. Get into a Tahoe, look at all the buttons, compare to the excalade. Damn near the same thing, you pay for a plusher interior, the big name, and the look (which really isn't all that impressive). For what its worth some simple aftermarket modifications to another GM SUV will get the same damn thing but not as flashy.
I guess the bottom line is be happy cause your getting a free car, not because its an escalade.
