My hair is already falling out.
So the Escalade will be for the chauffeur market as well? I think that's a good selection for the Escalade. But I don't think my heart can take seeing the potential upgrades for the Chinese Escalade. haha
Nah dont think there is any significant upgrades, the price may have something to do with the import tax/other tax, and the tax is likely to be based on the engine displacement

Feels like GM is overpricing it for no reason, a Navigator is RMB 738,000
Porsche Cayenne S cost RMB 1,050,000
A Range Rover cost around RMB 995,000 - RMB 1,260,000
A Hummer H2 cost around RMB 1,050,000
H3 around RMB 800,000

BUT then sometimes people dont really care about the price of the car, they just people to know that their car is expensive and they are rich (especially in China)
