U.S ought to though. We are the biggest SUV market in the world, right? If the GL should go anywhere, the U.S. should be the place, dont you guys think?

Absolutely.

I've seen a couple of '07 Escalades out there and whoa, it looks much better in real life than pictures. I haven't seen the GL, but I don't like it so far (from the pictures). The GL will absolutely sell in the US, no doubt about that. But the new Escalade will sure do some damage.

Don`t let the pics fool you. The GL is 13inches longer than the already large ML!
It also has more leg room than the Cadillac.
The GL450 is just 2 inches shorter than the GMC Yukon. The Cadillac Escalade is the same size. Here are some side by sime images.
