I am not a fan of lowered street trucks either. If I am gonna get a truck I want a big lifted one! lol

However I loveeee fast SUVs. They need an Escalade-V!

I want this though, in either black or grey with everything blacked out

Some inside GM wanted to do a supercharged Escalade, before they even did the supercharged CTS-V (at least I think it was before). The problem was, according to bean counters, that it would take sales away from the Z06, because it would have more power.

I'd rather see an SRX-V to compete with the Jeep

It'd be a good competitor if it was priced right, though.
