That's the ultimate shag wagon!! :metal:

[stevecmh]

400hp. Nice

[Cadillacfan]

I hope this means the pictures will be arriving soon. I really need to see the interior. I hope and pray I'm not going to be dissapointed.

[bobo]

AWD only? All those Escalades running around L.A. don't need AWD or the mileage penalty of having it.

[balthazar]

Associated Press reported in a piece last weekend that the '06 Escalade has the industry's first satellite TV system. It's KVH TracVision, dealer installed. 'Antenna' is a 3-foot wide, 5-in tall disc fitted on the vehicle's roof. Article also stated GM was considerig pre-wiring all their SUVs for satellite TV in '07.

[Satty]

They've used the in-car satellite thing on Pimp My Ride, the system seems like an awesome idea, especially if they offer individual monitors and dual receivers so each of the kiddies on the second row can watch whatever. Yeah, that would get expensive, but people rolling in Escalades usually aren't taking them to the welfare office. Edited October 13, 2005 by Satty

SO far I like what I read. Now We need Picture. When are the pictures gonna come out?? Edited October 13, 2005 by jlbunting

[red61985]

Bronze Metallic Exterior Paint??? That will be a first for an SUV of that size.

[post="28026"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]

Well, I'm not saying there is any real sense in it, but a 2WD SUV is still seen as something a bit icky by a lot of people.
Not that AWD with no locking differentials or low gears is REALLY any more macho...

[NOS2006]

I think that's the first one of these I've actually read all the way through. It sounds great. I can't wait to see it! Especially the interior..

[jbartley]

we NEED pictures.... ..can't .... wait .... much .... longer....

[Dsuupr]

As the old saying goes, they forgot the kitchen sink.

[Paolino]

Wow... two interior color choices. SO surprising. :rolleyes: C'mon GM, at this level, you need MORE than just beige and black.

[boblutzfan]

We need to prepare ourselves for the Escalade to just have a tricked out version of the same interior as seen in the Tahoe and Yukon. I seriously doubt that GM will dedicate a unique dash design as Lincoln has done with the Navigator. While I am preparing myself for the worse - I have high hopes that they might surprise us.

[Cadillacfan]

From what we've all read, it appears the Escalade has a different dash design and different radio and HVAC controls. I believe the people who designed the Maybach's interior did the Escalade's. Am I right? Paolino, seeing how the new Tahoe and Yukon interiors already have a two toned scheme, it's not like we'll have all beige, all grey, or all black like GM's current offerings. Even though there are only a couple of options, the new interiors are very colorful. Toyota does the same thing too if you're really worried. Edited October 13, 2005 by Cadillacfan85

[Ultra Magnus]

Interesting read. Since they are saving the Escalade for last, it had better be the best by far. So far it reads like it will be a winner but we all have to see it to believe it.

[BIGPhil]

Am I reading this right, will the Nav system actually be able to hold a total of 7 discs :blink: Do you mean that GM actually got the packaging right :omfg: If this is right then GM :cheers: and keep pumping out the good product. On another topic kinda sorta: does anyone have or know any pricing on any of the GMT - 900s?

[post="28155"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]

I'tll be different. One only needs to remember back to the post that Josh made a couple months back showing the dash "shells" for the tahoe/yukon and the Escalade and see that they are shaped very differently. :)

[usa1]

A standard 400 HP V8 and 6 speed auto. That is great news! Now if we can get an independent rear suspension... Mark

[post="28155"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]

Additionally, it looks like we have to suffer with a column-mounted shifter.

In the specs on the console, there's no mention of the front console having the tranmission shifter located there.....

I agree that I can't see GM dedicating a unique dash design....or for that matter, engineering a console-mounted shifter....

A real SHAME...no matter how nice the Escalade looks.....

[ichbinjohnk]

They did it for the GMT800 H2...they should be able to do it for the GMT900 Escalade.

[SingleStylish]

What is everyones facination with floor mounted shifters these days? It's like column shifters are low class or something. Thy function the same right? This SUV is truck based right? What's wrong with it?

[Satty]

Floor shifters are "sportier" although if that were true they would be attached to a manual transmission. But since its an automatic, and it'll be driven by rappers and morons, a column shifter makes more sense. Anytime you can shift from "P" to "R" without taking your hands off the wheel is good, it means the morons wont have to take their hands off the wheels.

[z28luvr01]

No, it just means they'll put the cell phone in the left hand instead of the right hand. Never underestimate the power of a moron.

[KaliRover]

So dissapointed, I really wanted to see pic's, oh well, I applaud this effort by Cadillac, the navigator now has something worthy of competition. I don't know... but for some reason, I feel this upcoming Escalade will resemble it's SRX sybling in frontend styling... oh well, put the pics up soon!!!

[Satty]

Never underestimate the power of a moron.

Oooo red on the v-series escalade would be very cool

Is it too late to pray for contrast piping like in the range rover

i loves me some contrast seat piping...

Where did you hear that? :blink:

Doubt it, there's always some outlandish rumor about an upcoming GM interior and all of them failed. This takes the cake...

I expect the same layout as the other GMT's with a bit more polish. That's all.

[post="28410"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]

I also read somewhere that the new interior will be manufactured by the same company that produced the Maybach and will feature some granite surfaces. I hope it's different then the other GMT900, (not that there is anything wrong with the new interiors) just to be different and more upscale. I'll post the article if I find it somewhere.

[MPLIN]

Here's a quote from GM media; Cadillac Escalade models feature an exclusive luxury interior, including a unique instrument panel, instrumentation (with continuously lit white-LED backlighting), seats, door trim and center console. Escalade also receives enhanced premium materials and features, such as unique instrument lighting, fabric-covered interior pillars, available heated and cooled front seats and an available heated steering wheel (also available on Yukon Denali models). Escalade models also offer enhanced radio systems and an available DVD entertainment system that includes flip-down screens for the second- and third-row occupants

[Northstar]

It sounds like it's fairly loaded since there's not many options. I just hope the non-NAV radio doesn't have acres of black plastic.

I could go for a nice BMW interior-esque brown.

[sciguy_0504]

Where's the keyless/fobless entry system? If the Toyota Yaris has it optional the Escalade, and every other Caddy, should, too.

[Guest Josh]

keyless entry? You mean....using the remote right? Shit it's standard on nearly every GM vehicle.

[turbo200]

sounds pretty good.....I await the interior pictures with bated breath.....features sound like they are worthy of a luxury vehicle, which it is, so good.

[bobo]

I think he means keyless access like the XLR and Corvette have. I think that is overkill for any car.

i'm thinking it's like the DTS, it's not something the customers demand.

I don't think the SUV owners are going to car either way, but i do think the Escalade should have it.

[David]

<_< Keep the damn floor shifters out of the trucks and SUV's. All they do is eat up valuable leg space. I have come to hate the floor shifter on my wifes CTS. While I love the car and how nice it drives, the floor shifter just makes the space tight for us 6'6" tall guys. Plus can anyone really see a 6' or under overweight rapper or football player driving one with a floor shifter? :blink: Talk about tight load! :lol: Not everyone likes floor shifters and really GM does not need to copy everyone else. If GM does consider it, then keep it only to a sports edition that has lowered suspension, etc. Otherwise this sounds rock on Tight! Like everyone else, can not wait to see pictures. B)

I dont think its so much the floor shifter that takes up the space, its the ever increasing size of the center consoles they build around said floor shifter. I find the console itself to be more of a room stealer than anything in todays vehicles. I understand there is a demand for them but dang, quit making them so huge that they take a up a ton of room!

[blkcadillac]

All Cadillacs have the keyless fob expect for the CTS, SRXand current Escalades. STS, DTS, and XLR.
