One thing. I am still not a fan of the exterior. Interior pretty nice. I just wish they would get rid of the gear thing with the steering column, honestly it is not a mini van.
Now if Cadillac would use another company for their audio equipment, they need to get rid of Bose.

The Escalade will always just be a friggin Tahoe with Cadillac badging to me..
I personally think people are sick in the head for paying $65k+ for a Cadillac truck... pfft.....
I guess I'm just old school... when Cadillacs where Cadillacs - they were Coupe DeVilles and Eldorados.. that's right - bring back the land barges!!!

There ARE differences and sharing platforms is nothing new for all manufacturers.

Ah... predictable. And so the ES350 is a 'friggin Camry' and the RX350 is a 'friggin Highlander' and on and on...

Are they sick in the head for paying *$85K+* for a Lexus 'truck' (LX570)?

And yes, paying $85k for a rebadged Land Cruiser (which is overpriced to begin with) is sick. You have to admit that up until this 08 design, the Land Cruisers and LX470s looked exactly the same.
On another note the Lexus nameplate is relatively new.. Cadillac (and even Lincoln) have a long heritage as luxury sedans. The thought of Caddy & Lincoln trucks just seem goofy..

Cadillac considers launching Escalade Hybrid in Europe
Cadillac considers launching Escalade Hybrid in Europe
At next month’s Geneva Motor Show, Cadillac will be showcasing its new Escalade Hybrid SUV. According to new reports, that’s just the start of the carmaker’s ambitious hybrid plans for Europe . Following its Geneva reveal, Cadillac is expected to make a decision about launching the hybrid model in Europe but will wait and see how popular the car is following its U.S. launch his summer.
One thing’s for certain. European buyers aren’t as fond of hybrid as their North American counterparts and the Cadillac brand itself is still considered new in most parts of Europe, which means customers will be wary of adopting the new model, reports AutoTelegraaf. The vehicle features GM’s new two-mode hybrid system and combines an electric motor with a 6.2L V8 engine, saving about 25% more fuel than the regular model.
The Escalade Hybrid won’t be the only green vehicle on Cadillac’s stands at this year’s show. Officials will also unveil the new Provoq Fuel-Cell Concept, the latest iteration of GM’s E-Flex platform and fuel-cell powertrain technology.
