The Big Test: Large Luxury SUVs 2015-large-luxury-suv-promo

Quote :: Allow me to state the obvious: We live in a big country. Not the biggest, but pretty dang close. We Americans also like big things. Be it burgers, beers, buildings, boobs, butts, you name it, in America bigger is more often than not associated with better. That's just how we think. For every fan of Sarah Susanka (the British-born architect credited with igniting the "Not So Big" house movement), I'll point to 100 new subdivisions where the average floor plan is 3,000 square feet. When it comes to cars, though, bigger is not only perceived by many as better, but more luxurious, too.

All of which leads rather cleanly to the focus of this comparison test: big, luxurious SUVs. True, bigger SUVs exist (Chevy Suburban, Ford Expedition EL, GMC Yukon XL, Toyota Sequoia, just to name a few), but they don't have the levels of luxury found on these near enough to full-size, leather-stuffed people-movers.

No surprise the Caddy took top honours here. Looks great! Performs great! Hopefully reliability proves to be as great. Hats off to GM for this SUV flagship!
