This should be required viewing for every GM executive. The brutal honesty is incredible.

Huge fan of how they included Life-Alert in the cabin, but it’s a bit difficult for me to get my walker into it.

"It's not ugly" Okay great it is already doing better than most BMWs

This feels like a huge downgrade from the Escalade. No digital cluster, low rent plastics found in a base Chevy Traverse. The Lincoln Aviator dances circles around this.

Having both of you say “Bose Performance Series” at the same time was a premium moment.

The best thing about the XT6 is this review. Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The tragedy of the XT6 is that the car we got was never really intended for our market. It was designed for China. Johan De Nysschen wanted the US-market XT6 to be built off the CT6's Omega RWD-based platform, available Blackwing V8 and all. Alas, GM's gonna GM. The brass saw the China-market car would be way cheaper to build, and would never encroach on Escalade territory the way Johan's XT6 might've done. Cadillac made their EV intentions known (the Lyriq's concept sketches were shown at the XT6 reveal), and that was used as financial justification to not invest in a final high-end generation of ICE products brand-wide (V-Series and Blackwing stuff being the exceptions).

I’ve felt the same way about Cadillac interiors for a long time. They’re sold for luxury prices but they’re no nicer than a Mazda inside (actually, modern Mazdas may be even nicer). It seems Cadillac floats their luxury identity almost entirely on exterior styling and it puzzles me that people spend their money on this brand.

I liked the part where Jack is explaining how this isn't engineered to the same level as the actually good GM products are and Mark is just taking this 4,000+ lbs Cadillac all the way to it's 7k rpm redline down a backroad.

I mean you gotta figure this. Brass goes to the Caddy engineers and says make this rental car a Cadillac.

As a 26 year old I would gladly drive around town in “Bingo mode”

Haven't seen you guys laugh like this in ages! How about doing more reviews of "underwhelming" vehicles, past and present...

The XT6 is a Cimarron in size eXtra Large. The Aviator kicks this thing to the curb. All the other lux competition too! Thanks for the laugh Mark and Jack!

75,000 dollars also puts you comfortably in a loaded non-hybrid Lincoln Aviator (with air ride and their 3,000 way adjustable seats), or a "well-enough" equipped plug-in hybrid trim that will blow the doors off this in probably every performance metric.

That ending of Mark having a coronary heart attack was CLASSIC 😂well worth this review!!!!

"I don't want to get a ticket" After driving like a maniac for 10 minutes straight...comedy gold.

Mark with the Costco drip 🔥

Let's make a SUV that Hertz and Enterprise will buy volumes of.

I've owned my 2022 XT6 for 9 months and I absolutely love it. No problems, smooth as silk, great features and comfort. I've gotten many compliments. I'd take this over the gimmicky electric door openers and 30-way adjustable front seats that you can't get comfortable in in the Lincoln Aviator any day.

GM never fails to disappoint. Sad is the state of the American auto industry. A few hits, many misses.

A Genesis GV80 blows this out of the water for around the same price. Originally, GM was gonna put this on the CT6 platform, but rushed it to the market on the FWD platform instead. The end of the video had me 🤣🤣🤣

New Balance, velcro shoes and the end had me rollin. Mark was on fire.

Spot on review! The entertainment is priceless, I am still laughing at the ending 😂

I've had an XT5 for 2 yrs & I love it. No problems & it gets a lot of compliments.

that kirkland hoodie slaps. I need that for my weekly Costco runs when I pick up my 18 pack of ketchup.

Listening to Mark bang this pile off the rev limiter made my morning lol

My prostate swelled up watching this video.

OMG I think I laugh more than you guys did about this review. But I have been working in the automotive field for over 30 years, so I feel your pain

Mark absolutely THRASHING this car on the drive was incredible.

Can u say Hyundai palasade for 52k is as nice or even better for 20k less

Watching this while I’m driving an XT4 🥲

This car looks like it should’ve came out 10 years ago and it would’ve been very competitive

Sportin' the upscale Kirkland swag in a $74K Caddy. Love it. LOL

I think you guys are spot on. I had a previous gen of this as a rental. It was decent, very inoffensive, but needs to be 10-15k less expensive. I'd never consider it vs QX60 MDX or even like Palisade Calligraphy (which eats its lunch at 52k).

it's been said before on your reviews on piles and i wanna say it again. i don't give not two but ten shits about this appliance and would never watch a review on it but the minute i saw the video i knew it would be entertaining to watch bc of your banter. you make reviews on commodity cars enjoyable bc of your light-hearted approach yet genuine opinion on them. that's one of the main reasons i love you guys!

I think the one key point missing about what this car brings to the table: approachability; and namely, it's not European. Obviously, at a similar price, something like an X5 and GLE are head-and-shoulders better. But, they come with perceived (though not necessarily unjustified) European non-reliability, high complexity, high maintenance costs. I think this is a luxury car for someone who has spent most of their life driving lesser GM products - and this is a well-deserved trophy to feel like they have a luxury car, but truthfully never really was someone who was ever going to wrap their head around what it really means to own, maintain, understand a 'real' luxury car. Which makes sense for the retiree who finally just wants to get something nice and can afford to do so. The interior with a much less tech-forward dashboard (no iDrive or MBUX here), the regular gas, even the 'unsophisticated' underpinnings (NA V6, regular transmission, even the FWD architecture) - all work together here. And when in normal times, this comes with an MSRP-made-for-a-discount - this really is a car that carves out its own niche of a segment and really isn't to be confused with an X5. Just my $0.02.

Understeer FWD mode instead of usual Drift mode is a nice touch!

Once again you guys did not disappoint, laughed out loud several time during this video

America's love affair with large CUV's is hysterical. $74K for this thing?

Picked up a low mile 2020 platinum for 40K, depreciation is your friend!

Bruhhh the roast.. it's always the best when the comedy is on point... Savagely funny well done 👏👏

Mark, Love the ending, so great, Also, love the brutal honesty from both of you. I hope GM still works with you in the future, They probably will be pissed off when they see this video. The truth is you guys are right at a price of 60 grand to 74 grand loaded, it is not competitive, as a matter of fact The Lincoln Aviator which competes with this is so much better, inside and out.

Acura mdx-s is so much better than this. Not to mention cheaper. And it will last. Which is something you cannot say about the German competitors

When you have early stage dementia and $74K to burn, there's this.

Jack's little 'uuuuh" at 6:32 pops up in like every other video and is hilarious.

Fantastic review! Very entertaining and informative. It’s been a long time since I owned or even seriously considered a GM product. But the Lyriq is intriguing. I hope you can get your hands on one of those soon.

It's funny that as someone who works service parts counter at a gm dealer, most of the XT6 I see are actually leased by internal sales employees lol

Y’all had too much fun with this one 😂

Hahaha, the end skit bro, hahahahahha. I love you guys.

My well aged and affluent Uncle buys a new Burgundy whatever the other Cadillac crossover model is called every two years and literally the only reason he gets them is because of the GM retiree family discount thing. We’re both car guys and we have never *ONCE* had a conversation about any of them. A burgundy Caddy crossover is seemingly the official “an car” of every retired Boeing/GM engineer living in HOA governed gated communities across the Midwest/Southwest.

The transmission didn’t sound too bad, it shifted rather quickly and smoothly. For 70k it had better

Lincoln is so underrated. The interiors are top notch. The ride and handling are just perfect for the segment. I test drive them all and purchased a Lincoln.

Consider bringing a flashlight when you film the interior portions, so we can actually see it. Maybe two flashlights, or some fireflies, or a lantern, so it won't keep looking like you're shooting a Christopher Nolan movie

I feel like this was designed to "compete" with the new Jeep Grand Cherokee L Same price point, similar features, similar market. But only if you consider the Overland or Summit trim for the JGC Where GM fails though, is the price. You can get more features in the GC for the same price, and if you don't need all the fancy crud, just go down to a Limited and option that up for ~10-15K less. For 74K you really could do a lot better, and shop imports too

The Kirkland sweater while driving this kiiillllssss me lol great review guys.

You guys crack me up thanks for the hilarious video

I love your wit -Dominating Retirement Communities.

I love how GM says "this is a totally unique vehicle and not related to the traverse/blazer"

That ending lmfao!!😂😂😂

When you hear that sweet sweet french music, you know it's going to be a good video

LOL…I literally (almost ) died watching that last segment in the Epilogue🚑

Jack was really impressed when you said meniscus. He was like, "Mr. Goose is like the inside of a Snapple cap cuz he got facts!" (Apologies to Cecily Strong)

I love the Kirkland Signature hoodie, I need that in my wardrobe

Glad i bought a GV 80 , this is terrible sold my stock years ago thankfully

Please keep your reviews entertaining like this.

Mark on point with the Kirkland Signature hoodie. His drip is with the current trends. Bravo.

Great review....... That ending...Lol. I can't...

Someone save Mark! It's ok.... I forgot, the seats are heated, cooled and have a built in defribillator 😳

The END LOL

That ending tho. Looks like Mark coded out. RIP. 😄

The ending was a trip!!🤪🤪

I recently rode in an XT6, a Jeep Cherokee and another SUV. The XT6 was the best at accommodating passengers, which included a tall person, a disabled relative who used a wheelchair, and other family members. The ride was smooth and quiet. We weren't racing anywhere, so a powerful engine didn't matter. I cannot say that the XT6 was the best SUV ever, but I wasn't paying attention to details like trim or headlights, just whether it was easy to get people into the vehicle, comfort and a quiet ride. I don't know if auto enthusiasts actually consider how average people and families think about what they want in a vehicle.

That ending caught me off guard 😂

Shit. I'm 57. I have to put this on my list? Somebody get me a pillow

2:44 that zoom on "AFUL" :D

Not gonna lie, when these are available off lease a few years from now at a massive discount, it may be worth a look.

They are reenacting how retirees drive when they need to get a refill on prescription meds. Love this video!

Wow, I didn't expect you guys to have a review of the Volvo EX90 up so soon!

For $74k, I’ll go with the Lincoln aviator or even save more $$ for the telluride or palisade

Makes me wonder if you've ever had a ticker, ripping the cars around as you do sometimes. A pile seems like a nice term for this, very expensive one at that. Knowing this could have been a Blazer makes this very appealing.

Brutally honest. And brutally entertaining!! 😂 The back and forth between you two was awesome!! 😎

I went on a date the other day and thought to myself, one pro about her is that, well, at least “she’s not ugly”

Love the Lawrence Welk entro music. Perfect for a "senior citizen" car.

This had me rolling! haha

I'm walking through Costco the other day, and see these Kirkland Signature hooded sweatshirts.... and I'm like, who in their right mind would buy one of those??? This entertaining review answered that question.

With this quality of respectful brutal honesty, I'd love to see you guys review the Jeep Patriot. That would be a comedy special.

This was the most disgruntled review yet 😂

my favorite feature is either the driver's side feeding tube that delivers fiber directly into your gullet, or the penny slot machines in the second row.

What a Masterpiece this video is

Thanks for those reviews

I love the AFUL on the shock, tells it all😅😅😅

5 seconds in thinking “that’s a traverse” and then waiting 14 minutes for Mark or Jack to say “this is a tarted up traverse.”

Drove the xt6 as a loaner while my 2021 escalade was getting recalls and free maintenance last year and although i actually found it to be a bit more comfortable it felt cheap since it's not several years old but freshly released and competition of the same category and price have a more expensive interior. i wouldn't say nicer but just more expensive. I care about comfort and usability more than actual design and looks. I like some things found on the suburban more than my escalade to be honest.

That ending tho 😅😭💀

Perfect for my '4pm dinner special' getaway... at the rec center.

Lookin' fresh in the Kirkland hoodie, Mr. Goose. All the Kirkland Signature branded clothes are extremely comfortable especially given the price point. I got a few tees and pullovers from them myself

Mark's wearing the Cadillac of hoodies!

Love the AFUL zoom lol

I hate to say this cuz I like Cadillac and they have a lot of good vehicles but this one reminds me of something I would see in 2005.

Nice to see that the Kirkland sponsorship went through.
