It's big, fast and when it comes to interior quality and refinement, it's one of GM's best. And wait — did we mention it's fast? All that and a smattering of gadgets make this look like a bargain compared to the Mercedes-Benz GL450.

The Tahoe looks better, and the Escalade has more cachet. 13 miles per gallon in the city. Fifty-two grand is a whole heap of change for a glorified family car - if you really want to haul the kids, buy a Sprinter Van.
