Man, after reading all of that, Caddy is really set out to take over this Fullsize market. They really improved on A LOT of things. That interior with all those new features sounds outstanding. Looks outstanding. It says leather on the dashboard, but I dont see it in the pics?? However I'm nor feeling that grill just yet. Its kinda pointy and wierd looking. But everything else seems to look great.

Its great that all models are very unique and different inside and out in there own way.

Ohh, I too like the way the Tahoe looks more than the Caddy, but I'm sure that will change when I see both on road very soon.

Yes the new features sounds great after having just reading through it. Still not feeling the way it appears though I agree it's more car like. My impression might change after I' ve sat in it in person . . .

I will wait and see Toyota's new models before making a judgement. If the rumours are true about a 400HP V8, GM will have their hands full competing in this shrinking market.

It seems ironic how much resources GM devoted to the GMT-900s, given the shrinking market.

To quickly sum up my thoughts .... much better interior than previous Escalade, I'm not digging the exterior compared to the last gen. And finally, all the GMT-900s look way too similar from the sides and rear, with the Escalade and Yukon looking similar from the front.

I have to admit I like it the interior isn't bad looking at all especially compared with the current model and the Infiniti QX56. I wonder what Lexus has in mind for the LX 470.

I like the interior a lot, its like 10 leaps above the current POS interior (POS is not an exaggeration). THe exterior is fine too, though, the side vent is factory rice, but what can u do.


Not bad at all. Damn a ndw engine with 400hp! and a 6 speed auto. DAMN

Lexus will really have to step up with the LX/JX

This is such a frigging retarded idea to put 400 hp into these machines. As if the fact that the only people who drive them are the people who do not know the first thing about driving, but to give them 400 hp so they can crush everything in their path... I hope GM goes down ASAP.

Ive had threads and discussions about when is enough "enough". Most thought I was nuts and b/c you can make more power, we should have it.

What a way of thinking

Ah, your usual negativity I see.

You've obviously never considered TOWING CAPACITY. People who buy a behemoth like the Escalade may well have a big boat to pull, or something like a horse trailer. That power will be much appreciated on uphill climbs in particular.

How much power do you think it should have then? If it had a low number you'd be criticizing it for that too.
