I truly don't see the appeal.
I guess it depends on your needs and your mission. I agree that it's a bit much, particularly if it's your single person daily commuter.

But if you happen to be a family of 5 that does all their vacationing via road trip and for some reason has to carry half your house with you, the "base" version of the vehicle (a Tahoe) is a great fit.

Would I buy the Escalade V even if I was willing to drop what will likely be $125K or more on it, no probably not. That doesn't mean I'm not happy to see GM continue to create the "the last hooray" for the big V8.

To me, this is no more obscene than someone stuffing a V8 in the 86. Is great to see someone being able to do it, but it makes no sense.
