Should Cadillac drop the Escalade EXT? Does it fit with the rest of the lineup?

I think I read somewhere it's one of the most-stolen vehicles, so somebody must like it. As long as they're selling OK, what's the harm? It's always kind of been an oddball, but if it sells, who's to argue?

I don't see any reason to drop it. It's highly profitable and not a bad seller.

I like the EXT over the base escalade.

The EXT fits in beautifully with the rest of the Caddy lineup.  Its a head turner.  When you see it roll through all you can say is: *** maybe when i grow up.....

I have always loved the EXT and have thought about getting one. Anyways they should keep it otherwise think of all the added time and expence of throwing a Escalade front clip on an Avalanche, how annoying would that be?

Does it fit? Hell no. Should they keep it? Hell YES! It's a beautiful truck, of course it will never really be used as a "truck" but if you like trucks and you have SOME sense of classy to you; the Cadillac Escalade EXT is for you.

A loaded EXT runs over $70k! Yikes! Of course, a loaded Avalanche runs over $50k. So the question then is...can you do a front-end swap for less than $20k?

NO DOUBT THEY SHOULD KEEP IT!!! Ever since I first saw one back in 02-03 I told myself if ever get enough money Ill get one...well my time came after my last depoyment. I like the fact thats its "KIND OF" a truck. It comes in handy having the bed for stuff...plus I use it to haul all the lake or car show stuff in the back when I take my toyz out. I got it cuz I wanted the "SPORTY-ER" lookn Escalade. The SUV is nice but the EXT gives those lookn to be a lil different that opportunity.  

Also to answer (ESANCHEZ)..yeah an EXT runs $70+(73K for mine ) but if you put a front/back/side/top/bottom clip on a Avalanche..ITS STILL AN AVALANCHE. I almost went that route myself..but the inside+engine+suspention& FEELING can never be copied. Nothing against Avalanche cuz they look BAD ***. But if you can make the jump up why not? RIGHT?

To each his own I guess...ya know.
