What is escort doing?

[mastersource]

Really what is Escort doing with all there detectors? They change the case or the color of the lcd and market it as new or special. The old 8500 should be called the 9500 without gps and the real only new product is the gps navigation. I guess what I am trying to say is I am disappointed with the 2011 line up, the redline had such big potential and they really haven’t done much with it.

Great post! I agree. Escort does not reach their potential.

Why the x50 black and not the x50e with band segmentation? Why make the bel magnum that's advertised as a sub-redline performer? Why make the redline without bs/rdr? I didn't realize till yesterday that they already have this stuff in windshield mounts but are withholding it from us.

Everyone's buying the new v1 now, and I can't blame them because of the redline's reaction times.

Actually we are doing very well, gaining much of the detector marketshare in 2011.

The X50 Blacks and STi Magnum are simply refreshes of our X50 and STi Driver models with performance boosts. The same for the SoloS3, new OLED display and a performance boost. These marketed performance boosts have been realized by several forum members of ours and on other forums.

RedLine is doing very well, delivering extreme detection range and stealth to detector detectors. A recent example, it was a 2011 Labor Day pick on Gizmodo.

The 3 year old 9500ix continues to be our bestseller. Eliminating false alerts still appears to be the primary concern for most detector users. Defender subscriptions are also high so camera alerts are also an important feature.

We are looking forward to an exciting 2011 holiday season!

Does that mean there is more to come for 2011 holiday season?

Perfect summary (despite grammatical issues).


Escort is a company that only cares about 1 thing: Money. Not creating the ultimate detector.

Not that there is anything wrong with that... for now.

The Redline is probably the most potent platform on the market and Escort has the technology to make it detect QT and POP2 like a champ...but they haven't. However, how many people even know what QT is beyond us? A rabbit is something that digs holes in your back yard, POP is a carbonated beverage, 33.8/34.7/35.5 are lotto numbers, and segmentation relates to a centipede. And a quick reaction time means more false alerts and like Escort Radar said, most people do not want to deal with it. Unfortunately, quick trigger radar IS common (unlike POP), and the Redline's speed when it comes to it is simply not on a par with the RX-65 in USA mode or the X50E, both which cost about half the price of a Redline. For this holiday, give us the gift of segmentation, K-pulse settings, and an alert-on-first-pass setting (like Ka-Guard on the V1). PLEEEZE

If Escort isn't the company creating "the ultimate detector," who is? It's surely not Valentine Research, if that is what you're implying. That may not be what you're implying, but I don't know of another company that would be known for doing such a thing.

Escort has excelled and attempted much more than any other detector company out there through the years; I don't see how one could deny that one. While not all of their features are necessarily great, they are the company at least attempting new things in this market.
