Heh this sucks...stupid accountants.

Are you kidding me? Maybe you should talk to you good friend evok about this, he'll set you straight. There is a VERY good business case for GMC...namely that there are a lot of people who won't buy a Chevy, but will shell out MORE money for a 95% identical GMC. GMC is essentially pure profit, only minor sheetmetal changes. GMC buyers rarely cross-shop Chevy, and vice versa. I thought you had a pretty good sense of the industry...??

No, AH-HA is right. Y'all are being brutal, calling this thing a "Yukon clone" and other such rubbish. There is a large amount of differentiation between the three GMT-900s, more than there was on the 800s or really ever has been in the past of these vehicles. YET the people on C&G are still finding things to b!tch about. Y'all are hopeless. This Escalade features an ALL-NEW interior that is very much DISTINCT from the Tahoe/Yukon. The front is all new. For crying out loud the thing doesn't even have a grille! It has sixteen minigrilles located in the front sheet metal! Look at some more pictures...that is sheet metal between the grilles, not plastic. So WHOOPS! there goes some of your arguments about "just swapped out a Yukon grille" I mean please how ignorant can you get? As far as I'm concerned, this Escalade is an out-of-the-park grand slam. Exterior: A Interior: A+ You see that? I don't think I've EVER rated a new GM that highly before! Cadillac shouldn't be "in your face" with its styling. That just makes it another wannabe luxo-marque. Cadillac should have distinct styling that is CLASSY. NOT overdone. NOT tacky, and YES, the GMT800 Escalade is TACKY in every aspect and every sense of the word.

Agree with Bobo... But symbols are powerful in America.

Anyone else notice that the interior of the Escalade has a flowing, one-piece center stack whereas the others do not? Classy.

Hahahahaha that was some funny sh!!t... WOW...I can't wait for next week with the slut mom!

pardon?

Agreed. Had McCain run in 2004, I wouldn't have voted for Kerry.

Escalade interior is completely different from the other two...Exterior is differentiated enough for my tastes, especially since the 800s are pretty similar. I like it. Honestly, I like it.

Don't get me wrong, Obama is a good Dem...but I really think it will be Bayh, Robertson, or Warner, especially after the VA election results...

The PAL being one L logic sounds good, except the word is not an English-originating word; it is Zulu in origin.

Seriously, Nick...you make this site worth reading. We are def gonna hang out at LAIAS.

Obama doesn't really have much of a shot at the presidency. The country wants a moderate...and Obama is still a bit left. Look for liberal Republicans or conservative Democrats as the next president or two...

Imaj is my favorite Cadillac ever. I really wish GM would just produce the damn thing.

Not really a drinking game, but sake bombing is always fun!

that's so true...

Which Bambi are you referring to?

and pacific :AH-HA_wink:

Yea...he kinda gave you a run for your money there :huh: :AH-HA_wink: :lol:

Have to agree. I know very few Democrats who want Hilary. I couldn't care less who the Rs nominate, but for the Democrats my money is on any combination of Warner, Robertson, and Bayh. That would be a very liveable and agreeable ballot. Plus, Bayh's a great guy!

Any and all "anti-military" sentiment can be boiled down to two root causes: 1) People who think "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is discriminatory 2) People who have a problem with the torture that went on in the POW camps, and a problem with the War in Iraq (though this second part more has to do with Bush and top-ranked Army officials than it does with the military as a whole) or a combination of the two. Frankly, I think ANY discrimination is appalling in this day and age. I think women should be in the military (and therefore drafted if a draft is instituted), and I think gays and lesbians should be allowed as well. Sexual orientation has little to do with defending one's country. A more uniform requirement that would be fair in my eyes would be the discharge of soldiers who sexually harass other soldiers, or who engage in inappropriate conduct whether it is heterosexual or homosexual in nature. As for number 2, I have a problem with it as well. FOG, I am glad SF passed the bill that they did because it sends a message that recruiting for a flawed and discriminatory institution is not welcome in a public HS or college campus. I think it's high time that the military shapes up and reforms, but that all said, I will support the individual troups as long as they are over in Iraq. As long as they do not engage in despicable conduct on their own, I might add.

Dude...get a sense of humor. Seriously...

Rodeo DRIVE...you know, the one where you can easily drop a few grand...

No, don't make it such a black and white issue... Frankly, within the city limits there is no need for firearms. You don't go hunting in the city, and renting them in the woods is always better and safer. As for the military recruiters, you should have been able to figure that one out yourself...First of all, I believe it is that they cannot set foot on public HSs or Colleges. Why? Because of the homophobic stance of the military. This is San Francisco for crying out loud...They are just excluding bigots from recruiting on campuses. Several colleges have had the issue come up, and USC was one of them a few years ago...basically here the agreement reached was that military officials had to BE APPROACHED and not approach students...and the LGBTA could have a silent protest next to them. Any verbalizing of hate speech would be grounds for the military being kicked off, or the LGBT being asked to leave the area and possibly facing diciplinary hearings. I think that is a pretty fair compromise, but I can see why SF would go as far as they did...I mean it is almost like the Klan recruiting at a diverse HS or College......it would NOT be welcome.

Yea...there's no way Prop 74 would have won...the second you get that "teacher of the year" who was in all the proposition ads last year saying no, it was doomed to fail. The "YES" ads were pretty weak too..."Hi I'm a teacher AND a Democrat! And I'M voting YES on Prop 74!!" seriously...did anyone buy that load of crap?
