Replying to: ckelly14 (Nov 25, 2006 8:16 pm) 1. HID headlights (Esc). The Yukon looks like a step backward with its front end. Although I know the previous generatation was NOT HID, I had replaced the 9005 lights with HID/Ballast kit. The "lens" style lights in the '01-'06 generation look more modern than the return to the old-style reflective lights on the '07 Denali. 2. LED tail-lights and marker lights. Maybe minor in function, buy very chic in terms of current trends. 3. A few more horses. I tow a boat all summer long, along with camping gear. 4. Cooled seats (along with heated). Very nice during summer heat, especially with leather, and global warming. 5. Longer warranty (at the time anyway). It has full-coverage for 4/50k. (The new 5/100k is not the same coverage, as it mostly covers the "hard goods"). 6. A little more style. The '07 Denali is hard to distinguish from the cheapo GMC Envoy. *** Is the worth the 10k? The lock was that I received quite a deal back in Feb '07... $100 under dealer invoice. Dave

I just purchased an 07 Escalade. BLACK(important here). Only after purchasing it did I discover that the air conditioning vents do not point above neutral. They only point neutral to down. The Escalade is cavernous inside and heat rises to the top. When you drive the car and it's 100 outside everything above your neck up will be swelltering. How dumb were the engineers on this one! They probably never drove the car in the middle of summer. And, yes in the southwest it gets to 100 quite frequently especially in the desert. |

Hello, Congrats on the new Escalade. Just wanted to say I think you made the right choice color wise. I have the same exact one purchased in March 06 when first released and have about 10000 miles on it. It's been flawless in every way and all the tech gadgets work the way they are supposed to. As far as climate control, I already suffered through a long heat wave with temps above 100 and the AC performed flawlessly. You can start the car remotely and by the time you get in it it will have already cooled down considerably. Once you get in and blast the AC and ventilated seats you will be pretty cold. I never even noticed to AC vents although I know what you mean. Anyway, I look forward to your feedback as to how it actually performs in your area. Good luck. |

Are "Real" hummers, just face-lifted versions of the Escalade/Yukon/Tahoe, Colorado, or the mini-van based Equinox. Pretty sad that "Hummer" is going to base a truck off a mini-van chassis. When I think Hummer, I'm thinking rough, tough, go-anywhere, unfortunately it's more associated with Rodeo Drive than real offroading these days.  -mike |
