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!
#27 of 145 2006 is that correct by blkcadillac Nov 24, 2004 (3:26 pm)
I thought that the Tahoe and Yukon would debeut first in 2006, then in 2007 the new Escalade would premire.   As like before the Tahoe and Yukon came out in 2000 then the Escalade in early 2001 sold as a 2002 model.

Replying to: theo2709 (Jul 19, 2004 11:55 am) I leased (for spouse and 3 kids) a 2000 Ford Excursion V10 with limited slip diff. for two years. We decided NOT to buy. I now own a 2002 Acura MDX w/touring pkg. I love the MDX and it seats up to 7 with little luggage room. B/c it's paid for, I will prob. keep it another 10 years. I miss the large Excursion and its room, but the spouse wanted more luxury I looked at a $70k ESV, but can't justify the price. I can buy a 2000 Excursion for 12,000 and intall a better engine and new leather for uner 15,000. It's LARGER than the ESV and let's us keep $50k growing tax deferred. As for keeping up with the Jones family: newsflash: they are broke. Ha! Replies to this message: blkcadillac (Nov 29, 2004 10:59 am) eaton53 (Nov 29, 2004 1:35 pm)
