I dunno, I would think the market for a $70,000+ SUV would be cornered by wealthy men, not women. Of course I don't have the numbers in front of me....

Most SUVs even with great power are speed limited to not much over 100 MPH. The Escalade has 403 HP and is limited to about 105 or so I believe. No one wants to see a 5,000 pound SUV weaving in and out of traffic at 130 MPH. Tires play a lot into it as well. My guess is they aren't going to put V or Z rated tires on an SUV built more for on-highway comfort and quiet than speed.
