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.

No Hybrid Hummer, but GM President said in the next few years, the hummer brand will be on Biodiesel engines.
 
that means all of the hummer's.

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.

2007 ESV w/Navigation - CD problems by erniec1

Hello all! I am the proud owner of a 2007 Escalade ESV w/navigation. When using the CD and moving between tracks, the CD player cuts off about the first second of the song..pretty minor. Just wondering if anyone else has the same issue. Thanks!

Fog lamp lenses by rayrruc

Has anyone had a problem with the lenses to the fog lamps falling out? I have a 2005 Escalade and either someone stole them or they fell out, I am just trying to figure out which.

Auxiliary Inputs by bigdig712

Hey I was wondering if anyone with a 02-06 escalade with onboard navigation, cd changer, xm radio factory unit has put in either a wired FM modulator or auxiliary adapter to plug in your mp3 player. If so, how do they sound and what did you do about the factory unit not having an extra aux input?

07 Escalade 2WD or 4WD by njcaguy

I love the new 07 Escalade and GM did a great job on the revamp. I was going to get an AWD Escalade, but that vehicle is no longer in stock and a 2WD with the same configuration is available at a lower cost.
 
Do I really need AWD here in Southern CA, where it doesn't snow and hardly rains? I am originaly from the east coast, so can't imagine a SUV without AWD / 4WD, but that is because of the winter season over there.
 
This vehicle will be my family hauler, so I want all the safety possible, however I question if will ever use AWD here in S. CA and then I swing back and forth about 2WD stability in rain. However with all the other traction and stabilitrack features with 2WD, I believe it should be fine.
 
I also don't tow anything or go up into the mountains to ski (yet).
Your opinions / comments would be greatly appreciated.

I am seriously looking at purchasing a 07 Escalade but will only get it with 2WD. The difference in price really does not enter into my decision. The primary reasons I will only get a 2WD Escalade are:
 
1. The 2WD Escalade is lower by at least 2 - 3 inches which contributes to better handling, easier access for my wife, and IMO a better more proportional road look because the vehicle is not 'jack-up' in the air.
 
2. The 2WD gets about 1 more MPG in real world driving and weighs about 200 pounds less.
 
3. I live in sunny Texas and do not have any need for AWD (and have a 4x4 truck if I want to go off-road, which is certainly not what I would intend to do with an Escalade).
 
4. The steering fell and responsiveness is better with the 2WD Escalade compared to the AWD.
 
5. With the 2WD Escalade the 18 inch wheels and tires fill the wheel wells up very nicely. I want the 18 inches since the ride quality is much better and the handling is almost the same IMO. (BTW, if you want the 22 inch wheels they totally fill the wheel well of the 2WD as compared to the AWD Escalade.)
 
6. The 2WD front suspension is much simpler and less prone to repairs.
 
7. The 2WD Escalade has a tow rating of 8000 versus 7700 pounds.
 
8. IMO, the retractable running boards (which, I will order) give a much better look to the 2WD then the AWD Escalade.
 
I hope my reasoning helps you.
