Now, I KNOW for SURE there are definately people out there who are very respectful while driving their seq but, around here it just seems the LC/LX drivers are much nicer. Maybe its because im driving a 100 with them. I wonder what would happen if i was driving a Sequoia around all the time, if the 100s would start to cut me off. Me donno.

Statistically, the lower-mid-income and below groups tend to be younger and less educated, overall. This also correlates with higher accident rates in general. And THAT relates to lesser driving competence and greater impatience on the road - again, in general.

So, typically, you see more aggressive and risky driving behavior exhibited by lower-cost vehicles. The worst offenders, among newer vehicles, tend to be the really cheap throwaway vehicles like Hundai, Daewoo, Suzuki, and the bottom-end eco cars from The Three (GM, Ford, DC).

The more expensive vehicles tend to be driven by older, more educated/affluent people with better driving habits and more patience. Again, in general. (Not counting those with ill-gotten gains and expensive hats turned sideways, with heavy gold chains and $10,000 subwoofers...)

The Sequoia is part of the broad mid-class of vehicles: Fairly offensive driving habits, fairly high quotient of "blind foolish impatience at all times", leading to habitual risky tailgating etc.

(I can even predict which neighborhoods the most impatient tailgaters tend to turn into, on the way home every day.)

Observe.

hehe...:)
 
I haven't seen the comparison I really want yet:

LC vs. Escalade

I think I may dump my LC and go for the Caddy. Spinners, the kind with the $ dollar sign that spins. Blue neon underneath. Chrome bling on the fenders. 20 gigawatt sub, with a loose license plate bracket that vibrates.

And a gold chain with a big gold Cadillac pendant so everyone KNOWS I'm rich.

Did you know the new Suburbans come with 20 inch wheels and 275/55/20 tires? Just seems weird to put lower profile large wheels on a vehicle that is a truck used for getting from point a to b.

Do the new Subs also have a sticker that says: "WARNING: not designed for off-road use"?

It seems like all new cars are getting bigger and bigger wheels with lower profile tires. If the concept cars are anything to go by, it's going to get worse before it gets better. They look like moon buggies. :rolleyes:

I think you are right. I was at SEMA this year and it won't be long before 20's will be standard like 16's are now. They had several cars with 24's. I don't like anything over 18's on a SUV/Truck and 17's I think would be a good size. On tires 275/65/18's in a LT rated, would of been better for the 2003 up LX/LC's then the 60 series. JMHO

I pointed this out to a salesguy at the auto show who was bragging about the new Escalade's snow performance this past weekend. His response was, "oh, well you need other wheels and tires for snow, but this thing HANDLES on dry pavement"

Right, because thats what I buy a 6,000 pound SUV for.

I don't know - A good friend of mine has his F350 dually set up with the drivetrain that has the same wheels and tire size of his Kenworth dump trucks. Believe me that pickup handles great and can roll over anything. Of course he has nice aluminum wheels and a lower profile truck tire mounted, but it is all truck. Problem is that he needs the on-board air compressor to change a tire!
