2015 Cadillac Escalade Images Leak Before Debut | AutoGuide.com News (http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2013/10/2015-cadillac-escalade-images-leak-before-debut.html)


According to CarScoops, a promotional video was published on AutoBlog, leaking images of GM’s new flagship luxury SUV. The link provided in the CarScoops post is already dead, but the damage is done.
Entering its fourth generation for the 2015 model year, the newest luxury SUV adopts styling cues that put it in line with other current Cadillac products. Tall headlights wrap over the front fenders and even taller light pillars are in place as rear lamps.


It's ok I guess..was expecting more.

i like it,

looks alot better than previous generations

if they level the rake out a bit it'll look pretty mean.

[ScratchedMy991]

Oh, a new piece of crap, essentially based off another piece of crap. I can't wait.

Credit where credit's due: it looks good.

[dared3vil0]

Have you ever actually driven an Escalade/Yukon/Tahoe? How exactly are they, and their sister platforms the Yukon and Tahoe a "piece of crap" exactly...?

[GLOW]

first thing that came to mind when i saw that front grill....

wow a modern day caddy that actually looks decent.

[AeroK]

looks like a box to me!

Yes, I've driven it. Does this then make my opinion of it more valid to you?

If it matters, it was a 2011 model for an 800km trip to Kelowna and back. For me it was a fantastically comfortable cruiser. It was also surprisingly nimble and its power was intoxicating.

The brakes, however, were completely inadequate to handle its obesity, and it was constantly hunting for the proper gear in the hills. What's most important for me, however, is build quality. In the case of this behemoth, every road bump made me feel that the interior was put together with spit and toilet paper.

Center console still looks like plastic GM crap. I never understood that, everything else about the escalade looks great and looked great in the previous gen..leather was nice, cabin roomy, strong engine, aggressive styling..but every time I look at that sea of plastic I can't help but feel like I'm not in a $100k vehicle.

[Harvey Specter]

Not my cup of tea but it does look menacing and the interior looks pretty good for an American car/truck.

[kunoman1]

I kind of like the new look

But :/ what happened to the glory days of Cadillac making the most luxurious, well built prestigious cars.

[Akinari]

I like it, doesn't look like a crappy piece of flat sheet metal anymore. But Volvo tail lights? Hmm...

[jpark]

it doesnt have the drug dealer gang banging hoodrat look anymore. Looks like a regular moms car now lol

[Timpo]

i wonrder what lincoln navigator would look like

it looks like cheap plastic in the pic but GM has been using this soft touch leathery material recently. Ive seen it in the new impala and ATS so im guessing same shit will be used in the escalade. Its a step up from the previous amount of shit quality materials used but still nothing to be proud of. I would rather have a GL550 for the same price range as a escalade.

[StylinRed]

do people still buy escalades/navigators/hummers?

seems like something ancient and out of style

Not liking the back at all.

I rented a 2014 tahoe for a Kelowna trip a couple weeks ago, and I found it incredibly gutless. Aside from very responsive steering, it was like driving a fucking marshmallow down the highway.

[Gridlock]

I kind of like the new look

But :/ what happened to the glory days of Cadillac making the most luxurious, well built prestigious cars.

It died in the 60's.

Seriously.

Sorry...maybe they still had their thing going in the 70's, its just hard to tell in the decade of dreck of what stood out in terms of a sedan you could park your house in.

The 80's? luxurious and prestigious? no. They rebadged a cavalier and said 'fuck it, they'll buy anything" and people didn't. The eldorado was a fucking land whale for old men.

The 90's. They get a solid engine. The northstar is a solid, semi modern engine for the times. Build quality? Still crap.

The last 10 years has seen some great new caddies come out, but, while I think they are a better brand, I think they pale against the europeans in terms of quality, prestige and 'value' to their customer. And this from a person that doens't particularly care for euro cars.

Interior has improved in so much ways possible..........but the exterior...really.

:/ I know I've been looking at a 53' Series 62 convertible the past couple of weeks that someone offered.. :okay:

[Timpo]

it all started with lexus...

why is everyone switching to LED?

whats wrong with HID? Im guessing less electricity consumption?

[Hondaracer]

looks nice, definate improvement over previous gen

[Gridlock]

What kind of shape is it in? They can be a choice ride, but can also cost a fortune to build. With that much metal to move, you aren't getting a 500hp performance engine, you are getting a 500hp "back it out the drive" engine /hyperbole.

[flagella]

Think it needs bigger grill. What an ugly POS.

[dee242]

frontt end has to much v n the back looks like a range rover

[xilley]

I always loved the escalades, I prefer the previous gen's rear.

But the front looks fucking awesome.

[asian_XL]

if you compare the new Escalade and Suburban, GM tried so hard to differential both models. It IS a box, that's for sure, but what else could do to a SUV. If you check out the BMW 3 series wagon, they also look the same over the years.

It's a GM, what the fuck do you expect?

[Zedbra]

Those new pics look alright. The wheels are kinda plain, but that is an easy fix.

[GS8]

It'll sell regardless of what it looks like.

[too_slow]

Not a fan of the Escalades due to the 'lifestyle' they represent and the in your face bling.. though I like the GMT900 based Yukon Denalis. Has 90% of luxury (captain seats in the rear are god sent for roadtrips).
They're also good for towing. The lesser Yukons/Tahoe's with the 5.3 cylinder deactivation makes for a decent hwy cruiser/towing rig.

Too bad they never offered the Duramax HD/Allison tranny on the 1500 series trucks.

Minimal surface rust, frame and suspension completed and apparently powdercoated. Body attached to frame with doors hung. Driveline not attached to the car, interior not finished and brake and fuel lines need to be run. Original engine and transmission running fine apparently. Interior needs finishing and the top is missing..

Need space in my garage too :/ :okay:
