Performance SUVs or trucks makes more sense for those of us that don't have 75 degrees and sunny all year. Having both is the best option when weather changes.

My "performance" truck is Denali diesel.

Just get yourself a 2015 Denali and you will have a nice ride, 6.2 motor which has been updated both HP and Torque, etc. You will not miss the Escalade with the new Denali!
Anyway, each to their own - good luck with your decision!

I'm a hardcore GMC man with 4 at the present including 2 Denali vehicles but the new Yukon and Tahoe have been taking some abuse for a "jiggly" ride and raising the rear deck height 4" to finally come into the future with fold flat third row. The HUD up is a nice addition on the Denali though and I never figured why my Denali Acadia's came with it since 07 but not the Yukon D.

There is no GM performance SUV in the same hemisphere as the Jeep SRT...
Will out run a lot of Vettes between stop lights and all of them in wet weather...
And don't forget...GM is recalling their recalls now they are so bad...

At $70k it better haul azz! That's crazy money for a jeep.

I've had Jeeps in the past (2 Grand Cherokees and a Liberty) and liked them all. Nothing like the SRT though, I'm sure. My Jeeps were dependable overall (brake rotors kept warping), but tradein value sucked. And so did the gas mileage.
I just bought a Subaru Forester yesterday. It's not a speed demon, but I didn't want it to be. I have the Vette for that. Haven't driven it much yet but so far I'm impressed. It's loaded out too.

I've had several E Class and 2 ML's. I loved them all but my last ML cost me $650 every 5K miles for front brakes. That got a little old. They all can have some type of quality issues but since I switched over to GMC (14) in the last 10 years they've been flawless.

I own a 2014 Srt optioned out I bought from Criswell. Mike Furman at Criswell can sell you one if interested. You can walk from his dealer to the Jeep dealer if you dont mind the drive from PA. I got the Pano roof, Harmon Karmon Audio, Full Size spare, Spyder Monkey style wheels in Black Chrome. They gave me a hell of a discount. If you want to discuss more feel free to Pm me and we can chat on the phone. I have two boys with a third on the way and it is my four door corvette. 
It is probably one of the most fun vehicles I have ever owned. I can go for a spirited drive with my boys and than stop by the grocery store and home depot. The navigation system and Stereo blows away everything on the markit in my opinion. It even has auto headlights high beams, Advanced cruse control, lots of cool things. I am averageing 14mpg city with some highway. I can get 20 on the highway with the new 8 speed auto. It also shuts down four cyclinders like th new corvette and has active exhaust valves. It has adjustable suspension which is very cool and also changes you transmission shift points steering feel and exhaust notes. It compliments my Grand Sport very well.

While I totally understand where you are coming I feel really bad for the dealers. My dealer is amazing and treats me and my vehicles with the upmost respect. I get better service and treatment at my Chevy dealer than I do my Acura dealer (which is suppose to be more of a premium luxury line if I dare call it that.) Gm really needs to get on the ball because they owe it to not only there customers but their dealers and there employees afected by this.
