I think people are going to either love or hate this new Escalade. I love it! For me this makes it a lot more difficult to just automatically say I'd take a Range Rover over an Escalade.
Thanks Larry - from hanging out with David Leone and the new car to the event itself, a great day!
Hey bud...its me. Thanks for watching and the kind note. It depends if the tint is streaky inside the tint (or behind the tint) or its simple streaky from lack of proper clean techniques. Hard to say from a description. Clean tinted window with ammonia-free glass cleaner. Try invisible glass or plexus and use a short hair microfiber towel. Then wipe again with a dry microfiber towel to ensure no streaks. Thx for watching!
THANKS - Have a great time talking with Larry about the industry and car history - will be back with some great stuff on Nissan and Corvette . . . Stay tuned.
You will be VERY happy to know that I shared EVERY one of those points with Dave Leone when we were talking that day.
lol cmon dude
converses with a suit?
where's the class people ? ...
The new Cadillacs coming out are without a doubt amazing with the styling.
However, they will always have a large portion of their sales hurt as long as they keep installing OnStar systems.
Nobody wants OnStar systems on their car. It is "their car" and they don't want someone behind a computer taking control over their property.
Security... there is something that has been around for a long time that works called LoJack. The individual can track their car and have it secured if anyone takes it. OnStar is an invasion of privacy and not a security feature.
The guy wearing sneaker? seriously?
Sweeet video! Great editing Motoman!
Wow, great video! I really appreciate Cadillac's new design direction. I'm here because of your appearances on the "Drive & Protect" podcast by Larry Kosilla. Great content on your channel & would love to hear you again on Larry's podcast dropping your unrivalled industry knowledge.
very impressed with the marketing and the presentation of the 15 escalade. nicely done!
VERY funny you mention this! Larry and I left the event space (we shot this before the reveal) went to his office and recorded his podcast. In that podcast I mention the very same thing. I would MUCH prefer the shifter being on the console rather than the column. Call me weird, but it reminds me of my mother's 1974 Buick . . .
Congrats on the XTS . . . Mean Gene and I both really liked that car.
We love our big,bulky SUVs!!!!!!
and they also love your dep pockets for gas fill ups.
Definitely need to do Q and A with some of these guys. Ask more probing questions and see where they are going with the concepts.
Love the grille and front end on this beast
I loved the HUD I had in my 93(yes 93) Bonneville years back....
I can't wait to see it in person
the escalade is the best truck/vehicle ever..this is LUXURY!
I love the new Escalade , especially the "Glavano Finish", but there's few things here & there , mainly :
- The Lack of Panoramic Roof .
- The stupid Plastic Column Shifter .
- The Rear Bumper & the Lack of the Dual Exhausts (Last Platinum had them) .
Overall , I like it a lot .
As always , Great Video M .
Thank you!
beautiful
How long this 2015 version is going to be available on the market?
Nice shoes.
Absolutely stunning vehicle no doubt. But they destroyed the rear. Those rear lights are hideous imo.
I think 2015 may be the last year for the big luxury vehicle. This Escalade is a handsome ride with awesome technology. BTW... I love OnStar and have the personal experience with it to say so. Whether it was getting an ambulance to me when I didn't know my exact location or doing the same for accidents I reported. Its a reason to go GM! Back to the vehicle; I have a 2009 Escalade now, and this wiill probably be the replacement. What a beauty. It's amazing to me that they can get this mileage and performance from such a large vehicle. OK, so it isn't a commuter vehicle but what a. way to head up to snow country!
Great vid. Larry made it even better.
Looks Like A Larger Version Of My GMC Terrain With A Cadillac Grill. I Like It
Thumbs up for Larry
Actually it works quite well in a number of larger cars. I took a Challenger with a 5.7 HEMI V8 on a LONG road trip did almost 30 MPG . . . remember that car has almost 370 HP and weighs 4,500 pounds . . .
If you look at overall BRAND sales, Cadillac WAY outsells Land Rover. Cadillac September 2013 sales: 13,828; 2013 YTD Cadillac Sales: 157,503. Land Rover September 2013 sales: 3,387; 2013 YTD Land Rover Sales: 35.359. Now granted, this is for both brands as a whole and not the individual model. But if I were beting man, I would say the Escalade because it comes in at a lower price point and has the GM marketing machine behind it.
they need to give one a hopped up lt1, sport suspension and a v badge
The host looks like a clown with those shoes. If you're going to wear a suit, get rid of the sneakers.
Cadillac should learn to make tail lights not like Lincolns in the Escalade.
i like the vertical taillights, even more so on the cts wagon
In life . . . it's all details . . .
Im rolling a 1999 Cif not more Cadillac SeVille STS.. and it is as relevant if not more then some of the BMW's or Mercedes ive driven.. Long live the NorthStar!
Even though those are 22's, the wheels look small b/c of the huge gaps. Maybe the suspension should be lowered a little to make it fill out just a bit more.
22's fits best on this suv...
besides the gap you speak of comes in handy when driving over big humps and potholes.. unless you like to run you rims against the fenders and already damage a 90k suv =\
I've finally been able to see it in person, and the gap doesn't look as dramatic as I initially thought.
Great video!
I don't know why people hate the new Escalade so much. I like the new look, or rather I don't mind it.
Make sure to sell your Cadillac before the warranty expires or prepare to take it up the a$$! Bought my '08 EXT from a private owner intentionally with the factory warranty still in place. Went to the local dealership here in Phoenix (Sounds much like Mund), and was promised that everything looks good prior to the "time" portion of the manufacturers warranty expiring. Approximately 5,000 miles later I just took it in to the new dealership ran by the same technicians and service advisors and received a repair estimate of almost $6,000 for miscellaneous drive train issues. GM won't budge with the exception of one item, and a generous offer of 10% off. Maybe the gist of the story is don't buy a Cadillac if you can't afford $5k - $10k repairs??
Hi MotoMan. Thanks for review. I would say that they almost changed every thing BUT what is it with the gear stick location......why not changed!!!!!!... Is it really saving a space in center console. Thanks
When that escalade comes out for sale I'm going directly to the dealer to get
Just saw this beaut last night at the Edmonton motor show
Really nice
Cadillac did well
GM is still working on their own 8 speed automatic for the trucks.
When they come out except the column shifter to be replaced by a dial.
Holy Shit! Those tail lights are huge!
LOL I want that keychain too.
Imo, a Top Trim Tahoe will be good enough...
Them escaldes are built in ft.worth, tx my buddy works at the factory there
TREYDAY1982 SAYS awesome vid..we love your reviews!
The cadillac escalade, gmc yukon, and chevy tahoe are all made in arlington texas.
That minivan gear selector needs to go!
General Motors at its Finest
That's escalade looks hot
the only thing I don't like so far is the lower valance of the front bumper. I know the extra "depth" is for aerodynamics and fuel efficiency, but this is the largest I've seen from GM thus far, and I think it elongates the front fascia's height too much. Perhaps an active valance, like on the new Porsche 911, would be better
Awesome Ride! But we still like the "bling bling" ;-j
That is a nice and pretty car
I also agree that it is much more refined-looking. The first generation was VERY bulbous and was an honest to god gas-guzzler. It probably weighed around 6000lbs. It looks like it has lost tons of weight, and the materials and features seem more upscale then ever before. It looks as though you may actually get what you pay for from a General Motors vehicle with this new Cadillac.
Having driven a 2010 GMC Denali extensively, I can confidently say I would not prefer to have a shifter on the console. It's a completely subjective thing, but the shift lever on the steering rack has a more tough, mechanical feel, as opposed to the plastic-y feeling you get from shifting a console shifter into gear. There's something about console shifters in big SUV's that never felt right to me.
more Larry!!!!!! plz!!!
There's plenty to like about the New 2015 Escalade like the new front end, interior, and all but why do the sides of it have to be just huge rectangular slabs?
Its the " ASK AMERICA GAME SHOW host!!
Americans traded big cars for big SUVs.....
420HP, 4 Cylinder Mode, Heads Up Display, & Standard 20-inch Rims!!! If the mpg numbers are 20-city and 25-hwy and the price is under $60,000, I may be willing to give up the idea of an Audi S7/Panamera 4S and invest in an Escalade.
It looks great an all but the bigger question is.......will it hold it's value better than previous Escalades?
hahaha more fuel efficient, yeah right...... like from 9mpg to 9.5? no thanks
looks like a loaf of whole wheat bread on wheels.
I like it, and that is hard for me to say the way that General Motors has been in the recent past. There is one brand of car I could mistake it for at night, and that is a Volvo. The taillights make it look like a big ass Volvo. I could get used to it. I also like that the engine will switch between 4 and 8 cylinders. I hope that it can at least achieve 24 highway -- that would be a feat.
So why isn't this channel growing?
It's no problem, if they leave the shifter on the column... but why is it so huge?? They should use something similar like the BMW use to do in the 7 series...
Caddy should do a full size van.
my new SUV
is it a carpet in the wheel housing?!
No. It is a material that looks to be a combo of lightweight and sound deadening. Going to be driving the truck in two weeks - will ask Dave then.
Larry!
What is the off road capability in comparison to the new range rover
Who said refined edges were nicer. I know this is an amazing car but in terms of the shape I think a more sharp look is way much better
does it have 7 or 8 seats? I see only 7 seats.
DAYUM, but need bigga rims yo
or you should say NIGGA rims :)
haha i don't remember posting this shit
So did late 80's Pontiacs. What's your point?
Me too
I love the technology integration, however, I feel like they made it look too much like the Acadia.
Touche . . . :)
الله يرزقنا ويرزق منا
Did I ever mention that, You Are My God Damn Hero ? Because you are !
Yea, I know its small stuff , but they make a big difference.
I would've loved a Console Shifter, but I'm cool with the Column Shifter ... except they lifted that straight outta 1990 Chevy Suburban ! Not Cool.
Is it safe to awesome it have the same Sorry ass beige 7" Panasonic screen & A\C vents in the headliner like the previous Gens which they used as excuse to NOT have a Panoramic roof ?
Thanks M .
This guys's shoes. LOL
active fuel management seems like such a gimmick. yes turning off cylinders will decrease the rate at which fuel is consumed but the weight of the vehicle is a constant and the amount of effort required to make it move is variable depending on road conditions and grade percentage, so less horsepower less torque more cylinder wear and resistance from the decommissioned cylinders that are still attached to the crank, doesn't seem like it will save any gas.
Great video, Truck is ok. Is it just me or is Cadillac not understanding true luxury? When you look at a European high end vehicle its refined and very appealing. When I look at a new Cadillac, I do not picture my wife and I getting out and going to an event downtown. Instead I picture some rapper climbing out of it. I look at the designs coming from Cadillac and to me it screams "Ghetto" or new money.. Its unfortunate that Lincoln has not kept up their Navigator line. They have pretty much fallen to the wayside by failing to to anything spectacular since the Navigator was introduced 14-15 years ago.
You sound so incredibly arrogant.
It's funny how you say Ghetto when you don't know where the term emanated from. Typical clueless. BTW define luxury to me.
John, I think you answered your own question, this is true luxury, that's why there is No Lincoln per say any more, so yes it is just you. I remember the first BMW that I bought and I didn't notice until I got home that the window sticker said leather-like interior HUH! Go to the grammys or any major event with affluent people 20 Escalades to one european or japense luxury suv.
No I'm sorry but I have to disagree. Range Rover still produces an outstanding vehicle without requiring as much flash. Secondly there are still many SUV's from the likes of BMW and Mercedes (and others) that are elegant and sophisticated. The use of man made leather is not only limited from BMW. In fact on our boat everything is made from ultra leather which is man made. This is done for durability more than anything else (supposedly it stays cooler as well but I don't think so).
John Salazar You obiously don't live in THAT part of the city (maybe you dont even live in a city)
Get some info before saying stupid shit.
Love everything... .except the tail lights... Ick.
wow..great review do a review with cereal marshmallows
nice
Yep Yep
I missed the long tail lights... Wow, I can imagine the bulb going out in 5-years and $300 to replace.....
Hmmm, good looking SUV, but damn the old one has some imposing tail lights.
LOL i love how they took away chrome because it was expensive, gave it a shitty plastic metallic coating and called it "galvano"
I'd actually drive this caddy since I drive a mercedes GL
Can never beat the range rover
About time they got rid of column shifts, really GM get with the times. The other thing, the exteriors of the 2015 Escalade, Yukon and Tahoe are all the same. Only diff is the lights. Really, lazy way to come up with new models and it will cost them big eventually.
Go to 1:55 that guy is wearing converses lol
all that shit and no supercharger...come on!
