It was a livery car, I’m not sure if it was the livery package or not since it was an ESV. But nonetheless, it was great.
Note: No pictures because I’m not that guy who goes around taking pictures of the car that’s picking him up.
Ride. 6/10
Bumps felt exaggerated and the suspension felt a bit stiff. Since it was a livery car, I originally would have guessed that worn components would have a play but it was a brand new vehicle.
Comfort. 9/10
The middle row captains chairs were super comfortable and provided great thigh support for you to be able to sit flat on the chair with enough legroom to be comfortable. The folding aisle side armrest was also nice. The seats were very comfortable and supple and shit. Build quality was top notch, IMO the Germans can’t even compete with the Escalade, the only issue I noticed is that there was a rattle of some sort coming from the rear of the cabin. The interior, seats and door panels were also trimmed with black alcantara
Toys. 7/10
Mildly complicated A/C and heat controls on the back of the massive front seat center console. Besides that, there wasn’t much else. There were fairly shallow cupholders on the side of the door panel near-ish the window controls though.
Engine note. 9/10
It sounded amazeballs for a full sized SUV. The exhaust had a really nice note even at low speed, that’s thanks to the 420 HP 6.2 liter Vortech under the hood along with them not forgetting to make it sound like it had a little character. 10/10 would listen again.
Baller Status. 10/10
Riding in a black Escalade does something to you. Right after getting out of it, I felt like wearing a hideous mink coat, sporting a pimp hat and cane and releasing my latest album of me talking over Sesame Street songs.
Total: 41/50. If I was a baller, I’d totally go out and buy a 2015 Range Rover Sport.

Why a Range Rover Sport? Not criticizing (however I’d personally go with a GL), just wondering why.
Also, no pictures? Are you trying to be Yahoo! or something?

Just kidding there for the most part, I’d go with a G550 and an Escalade.
I honestly wanted to take pictures, but it’s kind of strange to take pictures.

I get what you mean about pictures. You just have to be discreet or pretend you're using phone normally.

Haha, that’s exactly what I was thinking because I didn’t want to look totally weird. I’ve got one picture, but it’s of the car right in front of my house and I’d rather not post that on the internet.

Middle seat passenger. If you were a rear seat passenger you would have a different conclusion. I love the GMT SUV’s (especially this one) but even I have to admit that that back seat is awful. Funny, in FoMoCo’s SUV’s the first 2 rows are nothing to write home about but the rear seat is really nice.

The 3rd row seats looked no bueno. One thing that I did notice is that the 2nd row seats were really thin. The third row looked oddly positioned and a bit strange.
I’ve sat in the third row of a Ford Expedition at one point and it was alright.
