I agree, finally American SUV interior design has been dragged into the 21st century

Re: New Caddillac Escalade :(

Well i must say that i disagree with most of u guys, i actually like the way it looks, clean and simple, no complications to it. It might not be the best design i`ve seen but i cant see a bad thing about it, looks good

The interoir is an improvment as u guys said, i could never figure out why they couldnt of done this a long time ago.

If you ask me, the side gills are more Aston Martin-ish than BMW. But whatever.

And The Artist, what do you not like about the instrument cluster? I personally think it's one of the best in the market - simple, clean and easy to read. Nothing wrong with that.

Re: New Caddillac Escalade :(

The interior is nothing special at even most japanese cars have this type of interioer. I don't have any problems with the design of the car since I like big SUV. The car is an improvement but it is far from as good as SUV like RR sport and the new ML. The German companies are light years ahead of GM in term of quality and technology.

Re: New Caddillac Escalade :(

Escalade meant nothing to me in the first place and the new model doesn't make any difference.

Re: New Cadillac Escalade :(

Actually i like the new Escalade, looks just as good if not better than the current, as for the cluster it is so ugly and bland, very boring.... The grill is kick ass!

Re: New Cadillac Escalade :(





The new Esclade reminds me of the SRX!

And the SRX reminds me of an oversized estate car, so god knows what the new Escalade will look like!

Re: New Cadillac Escalade :(

I have never liked pick-up trucks converted to a so-called luxury SUV. Most if not all USA large SUV's are done this way. The Escalade is nothing more than a GMC truck modified for a market that is fading quickly.

The dash display is boring and I for one could not stand to stare at it very long. The interior is bland and lacks any feel or generates any kind of enthusiam for the car.

I quote the 11/11/05 Detroit Free Press: "But whether the buzz (about the new Escalade) will be enough to overcome challenges facing large SUVs remains to be seen.
Last month alone, Escalade sales were down 49 percent and are down 13.2 percent for the year, according to Autodata Corp."

Other than that I have no feelings one way or the other....
