What!?! My friends at GMI said it was a TOTALLY NEW interior. Can you describe the interior changes theo?

For 2005, here are the changes, as listed by the dealer website:   -Redesigned, highly-detailed instrument panel gauges with chrome bezels -Walnut Burl wood trim replaces Zebrano wood trim -Touch screen capability now included with (UM8) Navigation system (it looks the same) -Driver Information Center is less complicated, more user friendly -Carpet on lower door trim -Refreshed appearance on interior door handles   Reading it again, the description is vague about what an "instrument panel" is. I can't tell if they mean gauges or dashboard, probably gauges though. I say that because I don't see them putting a lot of money into the interior one year before a total redesign.

Lets talk about the 06 redesign, though. How and do you improve? It's already a terrifc car, with sales records to support that claim.

New interior mostly, plus an available V10 and maybe V12. *evil grin*

Right now, I wouldn't dare buy an Escalade. I don't like the interior, the features are spartan compared to the other full-size luxury SUVs, and it's years behind the competition in safety features. For the 06 redesign, I'm hoping that they put RSC, side-curtains, FLAT-FOLDING-INTO-FLOOR third-row seat, totally different interior than its siblings, and yeah that's it for me.

#11 of 145 Improvement by corvette May 19, 2004 (5:28 pm)
The current model is missing side curtain airbags, a five-speed automatic transmission, cylinder deactivation, etc... I don't think it should command the price premium it does over a Tahoe. Look at the price difference between a Land Cruiser and an LX470--they're much closer. Cadillac may be trying to be more hip, but what if the new Escalade doesn't enjoy the ill-won popularity of the current one?

Replying to: corvette (May 19, 2004 5:28 pm) Some people really dont care about side curtain airbags, a five-speed automatic transmission, cylinder deactivation, etc. They just want to look good and be noticed thats all. Yeah the Escalade does not have a five speed or side curtain but it has the power people love compared to the very under powered LX470. I dont think the Lexus should command the Range Rover near $$ price it wants with that V8 yes I've driven several LXs but the power is not there.
#13 of 145 when side curtain airbags? by hhunter Jun 23, 2004 (5:17 am)
I am looking at an '04 Escalde and do care about side curtain airbags. When are they coming? '05 or the '06 redesign?
#14 of 145 stop looking by steven2 Jun 23, 2004 (11:58 am)
You shouldn't expect side curtain airbags on the Escalade, because they don't want to do too much to promote the car a year before the redesign. If you want near the same kuxury but like the Escalade platform, try the Yukon Denali.
