Apperently the 2007 Escalade is getting remade. It rumored to have a huge V12 engine coupled to a 5 speed auto tranny. And this time its not going to be built on the GMT900 platform, its will get its own platform. Should be sweet. My father plans on getting rid of the 02' Escalade and getting this on depending on how sweet it is.

wow.. here in Canada and mostly in Québec, small cars wins. But we know those living below us like big cars. I think here people consider more the cost of the fuel and look for less pollution.

yeah...that was insightful. anywho, i doubt they will use a v12. they will keep the v8, do some slight modifications to it, and they probably will use the same platform.

AHAHHAHAHAH Yeah, maybe for $100,000. Maybe they will make a special edition (limited run of 5000 or so) like you described, but not a full production model.

I live in Toronto and I see SUV's and Mini-vans everywhere I go. I do see some small/mid size sedans. What I rarely see is nice sports cars. The most common cars/vans I see is the Honda Civic and Dodge Caravan/Plymouth Voyager.

Cadillac is part of GM, Chevy does not own it.

GM = » Chevrolet » Pontiac » Buick » Cadillac » GMC » Oldsmobile
» Saturn » HUMMER » Saab » Holden » Opel » Vauxhall

also » Fiat » Fuji/Subaru » Isuzu » Suzuki are part of GM Network.. not sure exacly what that means. And Fiat owns most of Ferrari. biggrin.gif

Exactly. It will cost well in excess of $500 a month in gas, just to keep the tub of lard moving. And that's if you no more than 40 miles on it a day.

Oh my god! There will almost be no more gas left by then and look how much it is not 2.55+

You do realize there is a *huge* surplus of oil, and many deposits have not even been tapped as of yet. We'll have at least enough for the next two years or so, don't worry. You'll have more than ample oppurtunity to annoy the general public with your "blarin 1000 watt speacers".

lol but still it wont last forever and that v10 engin is going to use more gas.

So what if someone wants to drive an escalade with a V12...it's their choice and if they can afford more power to them. I don't like the escalade but I won't be telling others not to drive them.

Also I'm not sure if the escalade is made on the platform as the suburban (like a lot of GM based cars are but actually the Hummer2 is nothing more than a new shell on top of a Chevy Suburban. One of the best marketing schemes ever. "hey buy a Hummer, shh don't say anytihng about how it's practically a chevy suburban." Says the GM executive

So by your account, we should never question what someone does. Rather we should just accept everyone as they truly are, and not push them to be more introspective, thoughtful, reflective, or educated.

If we all live the way you claim to, we will find it truly difficult to move society forward.

but still though.....should we think about the enviroment a LITTLE BIT?!?...I mean come on...a V12? WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO DRIVE IT AT?!? I mean come on, you obviously won't take it off road because...well....who wants to scratch the paint..tongue.gif...and when you drive it around the city...30% of the gas will be used JUST SO YOU CAN GET STUCK IN TRAFFIC...it's like...burning money...

you try not to pollution?

guess where most pollution comes from?

"good people" like yourself.

if you want a car with lots of sound, then get a Scion and put some big speakers in there. No use ruining a nice car with that kind of crap. the cadillac escalade simply shouldnt exist.if you want to seat a lot of people, get a minivan like normal people. if you want a nice pimp-mobile, then you need to learn about a little thing called "class". If you are trying to make up for your inadequacies by having a big and loud car, well then you are an idiot.

Yes, but you're forgetting the most important aspect; you'll look rich, *and* ignorant, all with minimal effort on your part. What could be better? And to top it off, imagine how much "1000 watt speacers" would improve that image tenfold?

The people you just listed are not necessarily cool. Wealth doesn't necessarily equate to an understanding of where the edge is (aka cool). It's much more difficult to set the trend, than it is to ride the one that has just passed by.
