i hate the mixture of colors on the inside.... white, tan, gray, silver, dark gray.. just pick one theme and go with it!
it would look much better with an all tan-ish colored interior or an all gray/dark gray interior

Agreed. Wood grain+Tan=WIN

That's pretty ignorant. The Escalades, especially the powertrain, have been proven to be ultra-reliable by various 3rd party industry measures.

I think it looks great. I'd get the standard length one, since this is made in Mexico and I'd never buy a car built there.

This has LED headlights, which is an industry first. I like seeing Cadillac innovating again.

GM powertrain is definitely great in comparison with Ford and Chrysler. Only real downfall is their cooling systems, namely DexCool... It's pretty much rust in a gallon jug.

LED headlights aren't an industry first.

Segment-first' date=' innovative LED headlamps
Escalade Platinum will be the first SUV - and one of the first vehicles of any kind - to offer Light Emitting Diode (LED) headlamps. Used previously only on concept vehicles or exotic sports cars, LED headlamps mark another step in Cadillac's application of advanced lighting technology and design.

LED headlamps emit a greatly more precise light pattern, while emulating the characteristics of natural daylight much more closely than traditional auto lighting. LEDs are environmentally friendly, using much less power and lasting more than 20 times longer than traditional halogen bulbs. LED headlamps will be an enhancement added to the Escalade Platinum in the summer of 2008, shortly after the start of production of the Platinum model itself in the spring of 2008.

"Escalade is world renown for making a distinctive design statement," Taylor said, "With the introduction of the world's first large luxury SUV hybrid as well as the new Platinum edition, Cadillac Escalade is now bringing some of the world's most sophisticated automotive technologies into the luxury SUV category."
