Those are actually pretty nice upgrades for the Escalade. The power tilt certainly addresses a major negative from its' release. Hope the 2-mode is available in decent quantities this year.Escalade/ESV/EXT
Start of Production: June 23, 2008
Changes:
- AWD and 2WD Hybrid Models
- OnStar Generation 8.0 with Bluetooth
- Flex-Fuel capability
- Side Blind Zone Alert
- XM NavTraffic
- Power tilt steering wheel
- Magnetic ride control with 22" wheels
- Rear view camera is standard
It does. The other two colors are black (called Ebony) and white (called Platinum).Actually I really like the STS. Not sure why, maybe it's just the colour. Doe sthe interior come in a different colour?
I don't think that is possible. The 2009 Cadillac's have all-new OnStar Gen 8 hardware.Also, being able to get downloadable navigation through Onstar. Does that mean you no longer have to buy the new DVD when it comes out every year? And, people that have 2008 Escalade, is there any way to get an update to the Onstar to take advantage of this, or is an entirely different computer vs. just a firmware update?

Yup.I really hate that "corporate" steering wheel the DTS has (and by extension the Escalade/ESV/EXT have as well). I expect more from Cadillac. Surely, it can't be that difficult to replace, it would do wonders for those interiors and, in the case of the Escalade set them apart from the Chevy/GMC trucks.
