#236 of 994 Ugly by fullsize Oct 28, 2000 (5:44 am)
I'm sorry. The front end on this thing (Escalade) is just plain ugly. No. It's not "plain" ugly. It's extra-special ugly. Someone in GM's exterior design department took too many experimental drugs in college, or something. And this is coming from a HUGE Tahoe/Yukon fan. Isn't this the same hideous headlight design that Cadillac's putting on the DeVille now? p.s. I saw an Aztec today. Wow. Those must have been some good mushrooms.
#237 of 994 Styling is Subjective... by glamourlife Oct 28, 2000 (4:38 pm)
I happen to really like the styling of the "02 Escalade. I think that is one of it's strongest suits. The same thing goes for the redesign of the Deville. That sedan represented a quantum leap for Cadillac styling, especially the front end. The new designs from Caddy are sleeker and some of the best designs from GM in years.
#238 of 994 The new Escalade looks... by mbml55amg Oct 28, 2000 (8:26 pm)
So Tina, let me understand, you find the '02 Escalade sleek looking? If that is true, then styling must indeed be subjective. I find the Escalade an extremely interesting vehicle with many innovative features. The front end styling however I find is it's weakest point, by far. It may be that when I see the actual vehicle I'll feel differently, but for now I'll stick with my initial review; "Anyone who can afford an Escalade, should be able to buy an Aztek to park beside it, the Aztek (I hope you don't find it sleek as well, Tina) is SOO extremely ugly, that by direct comparison the Escalade will appear, dare I say, even attractive!"
#239 of 994 Styling by rsholland Oct 28, 2000 (11:23 pm)
Cadillac is trying to apply the new design direction of their cars to a (already designed, and in production) truck. It's the 4WD equivalent of the square-peg-in-the-round-hole. It flat out does not work. I do like the new styling direction that has been shown on their recent concept cars. In fact, I think it's excellent - and I've been a graphic designer for nearly 30 years, so I "know" something about design (what works, what doesn't, and why). The softly rounded shapes of the Tahoe/Suburban's main structure (doors, windows, etc.) do not mesh with the razor-edge shapes/creases that Cadillac is using on their cars. The styling really looks "forced," and not at all natural. It looks like exactly what it is: A Tahoe (sorry, a Denali) with Caddy frosting. Bob
#240 of 994 I still say by glamourlife Oct 31, 2000 (5:36 am)
the new Escalade is one of the nicest looking trucks. I do like the engineering and technology of the Mercedes and BMW more, but the Mercedes is "funny looking" and the BMW is too small. I have not seen the Escalade in person, but the pictures my husband has shown me in magazines, and the layout on the website looks great. We are waiting to see the Escalade in person though. All of the negative posts have really made me want to see it in person. My husband is the kind of person that wants the latest greatest vehicles as soon as they come out. We looked hard at the BMW before it came out. We loved the test drive, but felt that the truck was not worth anywhere near $60,000. As for the Aztek comment, I think the Mercedes looks more like the Aztek than the Cadillac. Both give the appearance of a minivan. The nicest looking trucks in my opinion are the big Lexus 470, the Range Rover, and the Escalade.
#241 of 994 Maximum Overdrive by cwmartin Nov 10, 2000 (2:00 am)
The new Escalade front end reminds me of the evil 18 wheeler in the movie Maximum Overdrive. The SUV looks worse in black than it does in other colors. In fact the pictures I have on my web site (http://suv.s5.com) of the Escalade in silver, make the front end look more acceptable. But I must say that I prefer the front end of my 2000 Fire Red Yukon the best of all.
#242 of 994 MSRP? by lnava43 Nov 14, 2000 (7:25 pm)
Anyone know the MSRP on the 2002 Escalade? 2WD $$$$? AWD $$$$?
#243 of 994 MSRP by jarrettw Nov 18, 2000 (1:31 am)
AWD - 49,990 from Cadillacs site. Not sure of the 2WD.
#244 of 994 New Polls by cwmartin Nov 23, 2000 (3:50 am)
I have added several new polls to the GMSUV forum at http://www.delphi.com/GMSUV as well as a new section just to house the polls. If anyone has a suggestion for a poll question, please feel free to send it to me. Clifford Martin
#245 of 994 Escalade EXT??? by sevenfeet0 Dec 09, 2000 (10:14 pm)
I was nosing around the Caddy website, and there's a page for getting info on the Escalade EXT, whenever they decide to release it. Did I miss something? I've seen no reference for a different Escalade trim package until now. Does anyone know anything about it? Or is it a completely different vehicle (a la Lincoln Blackwood)? Tccad1, any ideas?
