Default Deciding on a new car

I already have the H2 and I am looking for something else( no i am not selling my H2) and i am deciding between the new 2008 escalade or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport
Cadillac Escalade


Land Rover Range Rover sport

Never had either. A couple of guys that work for me had the Range Rover. One still has his. Niether will ever have another. Not sure if that is a normal Range Rover experience or not.

I like the Land Rover, but I have heard numerous things about dependibility and how it cost so much money to fix...On the other hand if I had the escalade is really nice with 400hp, and I can put bigger size rims and ican bag it

Both these guys said the repair costs were horrendous. normal stuff like brake jobs were out of site. Of course this is in newport Beach, but even for here it was expensive.

I'd probably go with the Cadillac. Bigger, American (GM, you can get parts for it easier). My mother-in-law had one that was great, it was an 02 I think, never had any problems with it. Just traded it for the CTS because she wanted smaller.
Anyway, to answer your question: Escalade

Your mother in law could have waited a bit and could have gotten the new 550hp cts-v

I don't think she really cares about that much horsepower anymore. She ticked me off when she traded in the Escalade, it was an 02 and only had like 20,000 miles on it. I wanted it! Mint condition, she loved it, just hardly ever went anywhere. Said it scared her because it is too big. She is only 54 and is on some trip about how old she is and is going to die any day now. WTF?
