The Escalade may have become an icon of the urban-music set, but don’t let that fool you into believing that this car is all that. Although the Escalade has suspension that can take on the roughest terrains of city potholes, it’s not a particularly easy vehicle to navigate through the narrow roads — let alone park on them.
