well the mark f-150 oh i mean the mark LT will sell like crap compared to the 'Slade ext. but still i think both models are dumb to have been built. they dont produce a lot of revenue.

Hey caddy, can you comment on a few of the specific new interior features of the new Escalade? ...such as...will they have power full fold down rear seat...similar to the Navigator?....I hope they leave the gearshift on the column...and do not move it to the console...like the Navigator. All that does is get in the way. Anything else of interest. I have been delaying getting one....hoping that they would improve the interior features. Today, we have a Lexus...and I really like the GPS navigation system. Will Cadillac improve theirs? My wife is rather short...and would like to see the automatic extending running board to help her step up into it. Anything on that?... What about back up safety camera? My Lexus has it...pretty useful.
Thanks for any info you might have.

hey Turbid-times, the Escalade looks great vast improvements in all areas. I cant give u specifics because i have only seen a brief video on the exterior and interior. The exterior looks excellent, it had a more classy feel to it while still maintaining that no nonsense look. and it will have great power like in the old one. The interior will blow you away. It looks more like a car interior. it's just so nice and luxurious. Greatly improved from last's years version. im not sure about the rear camera but i would think that they will keep the rear sensing system in. And they did leave the gearshift on the column. I would definetly wait for the Escalade to come out in EARLY 2006. It is so much better than the one out right now. I hope this helped.

I own both cars. I totally researched the Nav before ordering. I THOUGHT the auto running boards, fold down seats, and auto lift gate were a must. I also THOUGHT all of the storage in the rear console would be needed (I have 5 children). I couldn't be more wrong, it is only
taking up space. All of the "extras" work when they want to.The suspension system failed and the car dropped down the tires- looked awesome but couldn't be driven. Gas mileage is horrible and it will not get out of it's own way. The interior has a cheap plastic look and the front interior lights need to angled for better visibility, and at night you can't see a thing in the front console. It just doesn't seem right that you pay 58+ and have so many things below par. My caddy on the other hand is great! I can't say enough good things. After reading about the 2006 model changes, I can't wait to get mine! If anyone has pics I'd love to see them.

"well the mark f-150 oh i mean the mark LT will sell like crap compared to the 'Slade ext. but still i think both models are dumb to have been built. they dont produce a lot of revenue."
Actually, they do produce quite a bit of revenue. The Mark LT broke even at 2000 units precisely because it is an F-150 under there, with more profit built in as well as wood & chrome. I'm sure the Escalanche did similarly years ago when it was introduced, and has been making gravy ever since.
Now, would anybody like to tell me if the 06 Escalade is going to have any of the following features available?
Air Conditioned seats
Independent Rear Suspension
3rd seat that folds into the floor.
Unique interior from Silverado.
Navigation.
Low Range 4WD
