2015 tahoe and yukon

Interior of the new Escalade

 

 

 

 

Looks great, IMO.

I can smell the plastic veneer from here. Did anyone else hear the cowl creak?

i still like the yukon best

Not bad. Looks like a good replacement.

I had been looking forward to the Escalade redesign especially, but all I can say is, ARE THEY EFFING KIDDING ME!? The front looks okay, but the back, AHHHH!! It looks like an over-sized Volvo station wagon and/or a hearse:

 

 

 

Cadillac, are you smoking crack!? Between this rearend of the new Escalade and the S-Class's new two-spoke big-mouthed steering wheel, I think I am going to need therapy I also do not like the seating of this Escalade.

 

Also it has just a six-speed transmission, one would expect at this level and time, it would have something like an eight-speed like the Range Rover. It has a solid rear axle, which I also do not understand unless that is needed for towing/hauling capacity? (maybe they can't make an independent rear suspension with the strength needed by the Escalade?).

Cadillac said that they are going to use much more premium materials in this new design.

the hood is to long looks funny

of course they did, so did Dodge with the Viper.

Maybe the pictures just look misleading. We will have to wait for the reviews.

Okay well the new Escalade is starting to grow on me. Those brake lights are an acquired taste though. The seating I like better now that I have seen some pictures showing the leather up-close. I thought at first it was just a purely smooth-looking leather but now I see it has granularity in it (which IMO makes it look nicer). Don't get me wrong, if someone handed me either a new S-Class or Escalade, I'd definitely drive them, but I am picky about my vehicles.

 

I am wondering what people's thoughts are on the column shifter? Some say that this should have been done away with, others say, "It's a truck!" I don't myself necessarily consider column shifters as a bad thing on SUVs.

Here is one review of the new Escalade's interior, was fairly positive: LINK

Wheels, some valid comments but the 6 speed transmission comment is an overrated/unnecessary concern.

 

Corvettes only recently went away from 4 speed auto. Torque handling is primary issue.

I like this:

 

Fully specced LTZ tahoes are nearly 70 grand, no thanks. Escalades are going to cost nearly 100k. Range Rover/ Cayenne time, I've had a few Tahoes but will people really shell out this much for them?

They are a lot bigger than a Range Rover or Cayenne though. But the upside in a year you will be able to buy a Escalade for 50-60.

Agreed. Saw my first today in black. It did look great.

After owning 3 Tahoes and 2 Escalades I am done with American SUV all of them developed leaks after 16 months of ownership and there security was a joke.

Not true

Not true

Not true that they are going to depreciate like a rock? Like the current ones do?

New 2015 goes up in smoke on a test drive, DOH!
