Depends if you want a mini-van type thing, or an SUV... My mother-in-law is getting ready to replace her MBZ MLK, and she's looking at the Buick Enclave. I think it's 7/8 passenger depending on the rear 3rd seat, if I'm correct. And it's on a car chassis; not a truck like the Escalade or Yukon. It's priced right, and seems to have the best repair record of any of the mid-size SUVs outside of Lexus. Bad resale value, but that's another thing altogether. Use it in your favor and get one that's 10K miles and a year old, and save $10K.

It's actually based upon the 2nd row seating arrangement. Depending if you get rear buckets or the bench.
The enclave is the exact same thing as the GMC Acadia, Saturn Outlook, Chevy Traverse.

I'm on my 2nd Escalade, the first was a really good car, didn't spend but 300.00 on it for maintance other than oil, tires, etc. The inside could have taken wear better, but we live in the damn thing for 10 months during son's baseball seasons.
I just bought a new one a month ago, it gets 12-16 mpg, got black interior this time to see if it stays cleaner looking longer. We don't have snow much in Central Tx, but the ice I've driven through wasn't a problem. My wife even commented once when she was driving and it was slick that if felt like it was "stuck" to the road. lol I have yet to find something as comfortable for the money, it has so many whistles and bells that I'll never learn how to use most of them. I do like the back-up camera and the "blind spot" indicater that shows when a car comes up beside you, that's a cool feature too. Oh, and remote start for in the mornings, I like that as well.....
yeah, I had an escalade as a demo and other than one hairy incident on the highway where I was going way wayyyyyy too fast for such a top heavy vehicle..I really liked it
my older two (my youngest wasnt born yet) really liked the heated seats in the back as well
it wouldn't stand out as wigger around here at all....so thats not a factor
I seriously only drive like 100-200 miles a week so gas isn't a huge factor...I was lookin at some used escalade and and they seeemed to be still pretty pricey
I gotta look more to see what drive train theyre runnin because I just don't remember

It's a good motor...not the best on fuel though.
I almost bought an escalade for the wifey a couple weeks ago which is why I know what they're bringing at auction because I've been watching them.
You can save some coin and go with the Denali and have pretty much the exact same thing. The only difference that I know of is I don't think the Denali's have air conditioned seats like the escalades do.
yeah, I was just eyeballin the Denali...
heated mirrors are a given on these things right? cuz I dont see it mentioned in most ads
