You can have the dealer remove the stickers. They just use a blow dryer and some goo gone to get them off. Not a big deal.

If you were going to look into the Hybrid Escalade, you would be better served to get the GDi version of the Mercedes.

My dream car, Range Rover, has not only broken my heart but broken my pocketbook with repetative repairs over and over, that's what you'll get with the 'rover'. Now I'm stuck with a vehicle I don't know how I can ethically get rid of and sell to some unsuspecting buyer! And, I have never ever taken it "off roading"! What a joke! It can't handle regular 'roading'.

I could care less about emissions but honestly are you that insecure that you don't want people to know your driving a hybrid?

It doesn't have anything to do with being insecure, it just doesn't look that nice IMO. A little hybrid badge on the back of the car would be a lot more suave and simple than big letters on the side of the car.

Anyway of the three I would probably choose the Escalade. While it's basically a luxury Tahoe/Yukon, it looks the best of the three, is the cheapest, and the most powerful. Some may see it as too flashy, but aren't all luxury SUVs?

And just a little FYI for those of you that did not know: the Escalade is the most popular full size luxury SUV in the US.

That's because it's relatively cheap, and people think it's a luxury SUV. It's not.

The Escalade is not a luxury SUV, and the Excursion / Suburban are about as close to luxury as a Kia.
