YES let's!
Didn't they release the Tahoe images before it debuted to the public? Maybe it's the same with the Escalade and they'll debut the pics tonight still?

Someone's getting shot. I've been banking on tommorow. <_<
Where did you see the interior? If we thought the debut date was tonight, then I'm guessing some of the media will too, and we'll get to see the pics early.
There is a small pic of the interior posted somewhere on the intenet :AH-HA_wink:
Didn't AH-HA confirm that the unveiling was to be tomorrow? Anyway, it is hurry up and wait... The small picture of the NAV looks like it is pulled out of the STS.
THat interior looks very good, like a combination of the DTS and STS.

Notice that piddly GM badge next to the Escalade wording. Just get rid of that BS already.

I think it looks way too busy and tacky!
Stick it on the seatbelt release buttons like it was in the 80's
It looks like they took the basic shape of the Tahoe and Yukon interior, inserted the STS radio, and then moved the air vents. I like it a lot. Is that a clock between the vents? That's what I thought it was at first but now I'm not so sure.
I don't think that's enough to get an idea of what the interior will look like. Personally, I hope it can be easily identifiable as a Cadillac.

The interior looks great so far. Looks to have a much more curvaceous design than that of the Tahoe/Yukon. The overall shape of the dash looks Lexus ES-esque and the position of the air vents and other controls confirms that the interior will in fact be significantly differentiated from it's platform-mates. Great news.

I didn't notice that before, but it does look similar to the ES. Nice catch.

It does look similar to the ES except (thankfully) the Escalade doesn't have a tacky digital clock between the vents - it appears to have a classy watch faced clock in stead.
Looks better in those pics 03Yukon posted. Can anyone read what the third thing down on the "best in class" thing is? I can read the others but can't figure out what that says.
BEST IN CLASS - Power - Ride and handling - Quietness - Comfort - Fit and finish - Cargo capacity
Okay... it's Saturday with approx 30 minutes left... So when are we going to see it, damnit?!?!?!?
nope its sunday and already half over no pics oh my im losing my hair :(
Guys. It's going to be unveiled on the 11th. We found that out a couple of days ago.
Wowza... front end looks pretty dynamic in those pictures... much better than the presentation shots. I'm not sure how it'll match the rest of the car.
Wow...ya gotta love how they camoed pretty much all the edges in turn making it pretty obvious where all the edges and design features are and basically gave away the jist of what it would look like :rolleyes: Look like it will turn out pretty nice though...thanks for the pics!

I'm getting a Pathfinder-ish vibe in that image (not that that's a bad thing) and either those wheels are too small (which I don't think they are judging by the tire thickness) or the suspension is too jacked up because that wheelgap (even for a truck) looks ridiculous. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt in the meantime and wait to see the production version.

It looks like the driver might be braking, causing to nose to dive and the rear to come up.

While we have our attention on the wheel wells... I had noticed that the wheel wells on the GMT 800 Escalade, compared to the Tahoe and Yukon were more rounded, which looks better on the classier Caddy. However, it seems like that subtle difference has been left off the GMT 900 trio. Is that a detail that GM has been leaving off these test mules, or is that just the way it is? Is there even a difference between the current trucks, or am I just imagining things?

That's just the comparison I was looking for! So there is a difference between the current Taho/Yukon compared to the Escalade. From the most recent spy shots, it looks like that might not be the case for the 900's, unless the Escalade test mule is missing something.

Oh well... I guess they all share the same wheel well design <_<
