Re: Don’t expect huge changes for new GM full-size trucks

Tracked down a test mule Escalade that was being trailered and got a good close-up of it esp. the interior and it was really nice. The interior is unique to the Escalade, very upscale and looked similar to the new 06 DTS, kind of rounded and lots of wood. The exterior had heavy camo but I could make out a couple of points. The glass on the rear doors is upswept like a Sequoia. The rest of the side panels seemed flat. The grill on the front is HUGE and speaking of huge, even though the emblem was not on the tester the space for it looked about the size of a Frisbee. With the gigantic one they put on the DTS this year, I was not surprised. The headlights are spaced a little further from the grill and upright like the CTS and STS. I am not sure if it had the production lights but if it did they were cool. They look like other Cadillacs except the projectors were flat and receased and indented in the glass which gave them a unique look, there were three I believe. I could not make out the back, there was too much camo. Overall it looked like a great execution, esp the interior which was beautiful! Unfortunately no camera on my phone
