So much better than the current model's exterior in my opinion.

That interior is a no go. The really put a Samsung widescreen computer/gaming monitor in there with some wood surrounds and called it done. Like we wouldn't notice.

I'm reallllly digging the new exterior, but they should have left the inside alone.

That blue one especially is just gorgeous.

Glad one of them at least looks better with the refresh, because I don't think the Tahoe and Yukon look better... at all.

Old Caddy emblem is better by a mile but it wouldn't work on anything, not really these days.

Doesn't look good washed out gray, IMO.
Yes…like I said it’s an option. The pictures show a color emblem.

I love how stealthy the V models are.

I can pretty much say that's my dream vehicle. It would have to be red, too.

The LS9 is amazing.

I love the V8 in my car but an LS9 in an IS = Heaven

Nice. There was a grey one here at the dealer a few weeks ago, it was definitely a "special" color. Not just your average grey. But total stealth.

Also, diesel Escalade is dead because..... nobody bought them. Almost as if... people want the huge monster Corvette V8 under the hood of their $120,000 truck and don't care about fuel economy???? Not everyone cares about fuel economy like so many opine. Certainly most buyers of huge heavy trucks.

Many people do care about fuel cost, you included. The point of the diesel wasn’t fuel economy though it was towing.

Not really, or I wouldn't drive vehicles that get 12MPG. I love it when you tell me what I'm thinking and how I think.

Absolutely the point was fuel economy, because it got near 30MPG which is impressive. But nobody wanted them because.....the horror....customers must really like the big 6.2 liter V8 under the hood.

It was towing too, and easy torque. But the thing did 0-60 in like 9 seconds, or 8.9. Versus about 3 full seconds faster with a Corvette V8 soundtrack????? I can't stop driving the GMC because it's so damn fast and fun.

At the end of the day just more crap being shoved at us we don't want, and the market reacted.

People in America don’t like diesels in general. How is offering an option shoving something in our faces we don’t want? It’s an option lol

Most legit magazines said to get the diesel, most legit publications. We talked about this. More than not suggested the diesel because getting bad gas mileage is one of the seven deadlies these days.

Who in the hell wants a $120,000 truck that does 0-60 in 9 seconds? I don't give a shytt how refined and torquey it feels.

I couldn't imagine that Yukon being slow.
