Aesthetically it's right up there - but weighing that with it's reliabilty issues and depreciation it doesn't do it for me.

Last on the list would be the Cadillac. First the Audi, second the RR.

I don't think the non SC is too slow for what it is either to be honest as it goes nicely on the freeway and it's just fine around town. The brakes are fantastic IMO.

The buttons, materials, and build of the interior just seems pretty bad to me. I wanted to like it, as I really do like the full size RR, but just couldn't get there.

Although, I still wouldn't mind a Vesuvius Orange RR Sport SC.

Was that supposed to be helpful?

My dad's got a GMC Denali, the front end is ugly as sin, but thats not the point. I use it every once in a while and its great if your an outdoorsman. Very comfortable filled with four grown men as well and all your gear in the back.

I've had the RRS and full size RR, never had a single issue with either of them mechanically/electronically. The full size RR is more for a luxury cruiser, the RRS is smaller, nimbler, and sportier. Cadillac Escalade? No offense to anyone but those are lame. How about a Merc G wagon?
