In your situation I would go with the Escalade... Personally I think the Evo's are FUGLY!!
Puts on flame retardent suit :P

Get an IS300, 2JZ!!!!! turbo the ******!!!!! Evo's are nice but an IS300 much like every toyota/lexus always fall below the radar. Good looking car that doesn't stick out, plus has a HUGE aftermarket. (and its rwd)

Hell yeah, I'd trade both my ***** and a few fingers for an is300. I'm not into the over-rated Evo. IMO, the WRX looks better and performs better, so why? Escalades are PIMP, but expensive and sucks gas with the best of them. My vote goes for an is300, I don't care what your mom says about them. :P She doesn't know a performance car from an economy car.

The IS300 would be the only 4 door car I would drive. For some reason they look really good even though they have 2 more doors than what is necessary.

Exactly. I'm not a fan of 4 doors, but that car is sexy as hell. I also like the early 90's 4door Accords. Super PIMP.

There was a fully worked is300 for sale on egay a while ago. It had everything, gigantic turbo, 6 speed Supra tranny, fully built motor, custom everything,.....OMG it was nice.

It doesn't sound like the real estate thing is a for sure, plus you just moved to Ca. I would say to not jump into either of them until you get settled in. By a beater and bank the money. If in time you need a "client" car, then you'll have the money to get one then. I really don't think that many real estate people cart people around in thier cars. Most of them just meet you at the house.
Buy a beater, turbo that bitch, and give chicks your phone number on the back of your large bank reciepts. You'll have Ca. friends in no time.

(Don't worry kids, Stealthmode is always right)

ALL of the realtors out here drive at least $50,000 vehicles and drive the potential buyers everywhere. I know a guy who had an S2000, but sold it when he got into real estate and bought some pile of ---- Mitsubishi SUV, but now he has an 04 Vette, 04' F350, 04' new Mitsu pile, big boat, big house, etc...etc...

For the job you are looking at, an SUV would look better, it's the in thing, SUV's and it's bigger and more comfortable. An EVO might look like an inmature not serious car, even if it is a "sports car". But If you plan on putting some 26's on the escalade and get it all pimped out, you will get the same inmature not serious reaction from your clients. With that said, I would still buy an EVO, it's just a car you will have more fun with IMO.
