I drove the prototypes for 5 months and I'd never own one.    The seals leak like a sieve.   The body panels rarely line up, especially the lift gate and lift glass, as well as the hood.

Really? Is it loud when your driving on highway or something?

Though they could easily cause undesired sounds at high speeds usually those things just fall into the "looks half-assed" category.  I've known only a couple happy escalade owners, seems there are some gems in the batches, but all of them moved on from those cars after less than 2-3 years I think (don't know if they leased or what but that's no time at all compared to my lengths of ownership with a car).

Going down a dirt road, the dust will get on the trim panels.    If you go through a puddle, they can get mud on em.    Also, on the Overland model, the Power Liftgate is useless, as the sensor rarely works.    If you have the Adaptive Cruise Control, good luck with it as well.   If it gets dirty, it won't work until you clean off the sensor in the Bumper grille.    If you have the glass roof, the divider between it and the moon roof will rattle like a log wagon.

They were my "office" for damn near 6 months.   I know em inside and out and I'd never by em.
