Two full years from now? I hope the General gets with it this time and gives me something to consider more than just the larger engine.

That's optimistic too. Lutz is fighting with the design department about the front end. Replies to this message: rctennis3811 (Jul 19, 2004 6:01 pm) evok (Jul 20, 2004 12:44 pm) pacific (Nov 28, 2004 8:46 pm) blkcadillac (Nov 29, 2004 10:59 am) eaton53 (Nov 29, 2004 1:35 pm)

Replying to: theo2709 (Jul 19, 2004 11:55 am) What do you mean Lutz is fighting about the front end? Does he not like it??? Wow, this is interesting! Let us know theo!

Replying to: theo2709 (Jul 19, 2004 11:55 am) Don't forget that the Escalade will have unique doors as well. Last I heard was design staff has been delayed because of the infighting between Lutz and Cafaro.
#21 of 145 I've heard, by nvbanker Jul 20, 2004 (11:59 pm)
that Lutz doesn't like the edgy look of Cadillac, and is trying to smooth out the lines on all of them. Anybody confirming or denying that?

Unique doors, you say. How much time does it take to engineer doors? I can't imagine that would be the cause for the seven month delay versus the other SUVs. Replies to this message: evok (Jul 22, 2004 5:38 am)

Lutz should better focus on the dated interior, rather than the exterior. And I mean all of them, Escalade, Suburban & Yukon. We need both, nice design (kind of Chevy Equinox wouldn't be bad) AND good quality, especially for such an expensive vehicle as Escalade.

Replying to: theo2709 (Jul 21, 2004 5:57 am) Theo: From what I hear, Lutz and Cafaro were at it over the front end. Lutz watered it down to the point it looks just like a mild up date of the current front end. Cafaro wanted to make it edgier then the current vehicle with huge head lamps. Very in your face.   Also, last I heard Lutz wanted unique doors. The math data was to be frozen months ago. It depends on how much Lutz wanted to change the door. If substancial it could affect the out ring sheet metal. New doors could be an expensive proposition.   I do not know if it officially has been pushed back or if the release date has been change but I know they are under the gun.

I agree with samnoe - the problem isn't on the outside, it's the Chevy truck interior with plood here and there that is a turn off. Lutz should know better than that!
