While GM’s next-generation SUVs are slated to debut at September’s Texas State Fair, the Cadillac Escalade will get its own launch event in New York City.
Instead, the Escalade will be revealed on October 7th in the Big Apple. There have been conflicting reports over the past year regarding the new truck’s direction. We’ve heard that it will be both more ostentatious and more reserved. October 7th will be the moment of truth.

A posermobile. Buy a real luxury car and a real offroader instead of this mongrel.
I hope the reveal is in Manhattan. Escalades aren't bought to take four wheeling or do hot laps around VIR. They're bought by the conspicuous consumption types. Showing off expensive rides drives this market. Just like Canali suits. No one needs one, but damn they look good.
I'm actually pretty surprised how little we know about the new 'Slade with just two months before its debut. We had pretty clear spy shots of the current-gen rig many months before it was officially unveiled. My guess is that they kept it a truck (not an extended-Lambda CUV), and like the Silverado, Tahoe, Sierra and Yukon, it will not be a dramatically different design. There's only so much you can do with a big black-and-chrome two-box wagon...and the Infinity QX56 is what happens when you try to do too much.
"In fact let me turn this around on you, have you ever been to Germany?" Every year, and many more times than you have apparently. "Those roads are incredibly small, the fact Escalades do as well as they do on those cramped roads, with the massive taxes the truck suffers, is nothing short of a miracle." You don´t know sh*t. Audi Q7 is about the same size. "And the thing actually sells, how is that not embarrassing to your whole argument?" 14 to 1 is not selling. You forgot to tell me that i have a vendetta towards GM?
