2007 Cadillac Escalade features more chrome and power

no point in arguing with cpedckville. hes as belligerantly an a$$hole as any lincoln enthusiast. too bad hes driving the wrong cars.

rappers buy cadillac because its a name. when in reality they should be driving the car that was named after the guy who helped free their great great grandfathers so their talentless a$$es could capitalize on a mediocre form of music that appeals to a mediocre people.

navi>escalon yukillade
Mark LT>Escalanche
tc, ls, zephyr> the rest of whatever it is cadillac is offering these days.
 
I will say this, atleast THIS rear end doesnt look like a chrysler new yorker.

bro please no name calling here, LvC is not about causing a flame war. it is his choice if it drives a caddy, and that he loves them. i like certain rattillacs.... oooops did i say that....lol no serioulsly i do like some caddies. i love the XLR-V and CTS-V those are hot cars.
 
you missed what i meant about "as belligerantly an :q:q:q:q:q:q:q as any lincoln enthusiast". not meant to be insulting to anyone.
 
omg, it looks like a mix between that piggy looking dodge suv and a chevy(maybe its gmc?) cargovan.. woah.
 
and no, i dont think everything lincoln does is great. the 07 aviator is going to be another egg mobile.
 
ok my fault bro, i re-read what you said on that previous post. lol but see the thing about me is i like cars in general, not just lincoln! i blame my good friend jack for getting me into the mark scene. and after a couple runs in his 94 i was sold. but that is a totally different story.

what's wrong with an eggmobile? it'll get better gas mileage than 17 mpg on the highway, that's for sure!
 
i litterally laughed when i saw the front end. omg. thats saaaaaaad. i hope they release it. it will make the navi even more attractive.

Again.Granted,your entitled to your opinion.But sales don't lie.You like how the Navi looks over the Lade.More of the high luxury SUV class buying people like the Lade.Hence they sell nearly twice as much.And judging how there is a very strong resemblence between the old Lades and the new ones,I will say with confidence that sales will remain strong.Im also willing to say even stronger than before because the new Lades are coming with a huge interior and exterior facelift.And its coming with more.Its offering more than the Navi.

dude every car manufacturer uses the same platform to build on different cars. ford escort is a S type Jag, so is the lincoln LS, T-bird... etc.
back in the mid 80's you have the markVII, t-bird, cougar all were based off the same platform. yes i know the crown vic is a TC so is the mercury grand marquis. chevy caprice same platform as the impala SS. navi is and expedition, the avi, is a explorer. toyota 4 Runner is on the same platform as the lexus GX, and the LX is a Seqouia and Land Cruiser married together. the GS is a toyota camry on steriods. i can go on and on..... but i wont. bye!!!

Your absolutly right.But none of those platforms are 25 years old.

To start off,I usually refuse to acknowledge anyone who tries to post with big words but can't spell them.This shows lack of intelligence and theres no point in arguing with someone like that.Second,instead of getting hot headed online and using insults to try to prove a point,try doing some research before posting so you can base your thoughts off something else than opinion.How you like the way something looks over another means nothing.It is impossible to form an argument with opinions.Facts must be brought into the mix.This insulting also is another sign of lack of intelligence and most of all,immaturity.It makes me wonder whether your actually old enough to drive or if you just turned 9.

SO...
Lesson one: Do your research before posting ignorant crap such as I like Navigators more than Escalades and expect to start a intelligent argument.You'll make much more sense and people will like you more.

Lesson two:Stop your insults.Ive been seeing them around the boards and there really quite stupid and arrogant.Grow up,and start acting like you know a thing or two about automobiles.Which I have faith that you do,you just have yet to show it.This will also boost your liking status around the boards.

Oh and its actually belligerently,not "belligerantly".

Well,I guess they earned themselves a damn good name.If they double Lincoln in sales then something good has had to been going on in the minds of the Cadillac engineers for the past 103 years.

You have your opinion.And I respect that.I don't criticise or insult you because you like Lincolns.Form an intelligent argument or discussion and I guarentee that you will be taken more seriously.

Firstly,your picture didn't show up.Secondly,as I have stated one thousand times before,the sytling was taken from the Sixteen.And happens to look absolutly awsome.

Thank you.I think we need more people like you around here.I agree.No criticism needed.It makes LvC a nice place to come and talk cars when theres no flame wars.
 
aww, you just proved your worth. tyopgraphical errors are in no way a measure of ones intelligence. using a word in the right context = intelligence. typo's plague 100% of computer users world wide.

i wasnt posting a picture, i used caps on "this" to emphasize the 07 esclade.
i dont care what they "took from the 16" it looks like a chevy cargovan. look at the newer uhaul tm's.

once again, i didnt insult you, if you lack the intelligence to fathom what i meant... then please, refrain from ever replying to anything i ever post on here again.

"something good has to have been going on for the past 103 years"
subtract out 20 for the 80s and 90s, please and thank you.

blah blah blah blah blah.

They certainly do reflect intelligence.I learned to spell in the kindergarten.Not being sure of your age,assuming its over 10,you just simply can't spell big words.Just admit it.You couldn't spell belligerently.It was just a word you heard mom use in a sentance like your's when you were,or still are, 10 years old.It wasn't a typo,you just can't spell the big ones.A typo is typing something like when you just spelled typographical wrong in your reply,its understandable.when the two keys are right next to eachother and you just simply hit the key next to the appropriate key.Another way is that while you where spending the 15 minutes sounding out belligerently,you couldn't decide whether the "e" or the "a" sounded right in the word,so you settled for "a".Its okay,some of us aren't meant to have a wide range of vocabulary.Don't feel bad.

When I said it took styling cues from the Sixteen,I was referring to the DTS,sort of like you were when you mentioned the New Yorker.It looks like a Chevy cargo van huh?At least it has lines that go someplace instead of nowhere like the Navi.The Lade has body lines that flow.Opposed to the Navi's body lines that form a box.

And I do consider you changing my user name from CpeVillStr90 to cpedckville an insult.Notice when saying cpedckville,the second syllable is meant to imply the word dick.Maybe you need to stop replying if you can't fathom your own phrases.

And actually Cadillac begin its comeback in the 90's.But the 1980's,true.The first thing you have said thats actaully factual.Contratulations.But can you really count it since all U.S. cars were in a slump in the 80's?Whats it matter now though.Nothing.Its ancient history and Cadillacs headed to the top.Now I only request that you take 40 years off for Lincoln.But I guess they don't really matter since they have never been ahead of Cadillac.
 
I think we may have to close this before Nakoa escalates this to another level.Weird how this whole thread was fine until he chimed in.We were talking cars like most people do on car forums.But I guess some people aren't just there in the head yet and can't handle someone saying something negative about a car they like.Sad,yes,very.Its seems as if Nakoa is getting even more and more steamed behind that computer screen.And he may end up saying something not very nice.This thread is now useless.Thanks Nakoa.
 
no, it was not meant to be dick. i often call the deville a "duckville" because of the ducks on the older insignia. "quakillac duckville".
 
oh your posts are so intelligent and you are such a kind, all-knowing, level headed, analytically minded great guy! you sure hit all of that on the head.

how did you ever figure me out?

::sarcasm off::
 
Aw, come'on guys, their all just copies of the Jeep Cherokee...
(And No I can't spell either)

hahah thanks for the laugh.

yeah, we can go out for ice cream, have sleepovers, be superstellarbestfriendsforever, tell each other secrets and talk about our crushes.
 
I in no way want to imply that if it has a Cadillac symbol on it it is a piece of crap. I do want to imply that as I stated before-the only reason Escalade was made was to compete with the Navigator. That can not be argued. More importantly the Escalade had miserable sales until the redesign in 2002 which is when the "all powerful" 6.0 came out as an OPTIONAL engine in the AWD models. As for the rappers not choosing the Lincoln I just saw a "Punked" where the Ying Yang twins were driving a 2005 Navi, I also seem to remember the "Sean John" limited edition 2003 Navi that was fully customized for the customer from P. Diddy himself. These people can roll in any car made, there must be a reason they chose not to buy the Escalade. Maybe just for the sake of not being like everyone else. The main problem I have with GM is the "This worked with this car lets throw it in to 4 other versions and call them ALL-NEW!" Granted all car companies platform share-but at least get some original ideas for a $60,000.00 car!! I do like some of Cadillacs cars- they are not strait mimics of other models, maybe thats why. Let's all not forget that Ford also owns Land Rover, Jaguar, and Aston Martin along with Lincoln. It is more difficult to juggle 4 luxury companies than it is for GM to juggle one.
 
By the way, Almighty GM has lost a record 4 billion dollars so far this year. I just read an article saying that there is a 40% chance of them being bankrupt by 2007. Even if the Escalade out sells tha Navi one car can not pull them out of that.
 
Well Ford is not much better off financially than GM and they also must develop fresh products in order to compete with the foreign car makers. Even though there has been a lot of improvement in quality most American cars still fall short of the Toyota's, Lexus, Audi, VW, Mercedes, and BMW. I hope that Ford will take advantage of thieir ownership of Volvo, Jaguar, and Land Rover to improve on their quality and safety record. One SUV that puts both the Navigator and Escalade to shame in safety and technology features is the Infiniti QX56. This vehicle is $6000-8000 cheaper than a fully loaded Navigator and around $10,000 cheaper than the current Escalade. It has all the bells and whistles. And what is it? A Nissian Armada. But it is a good value for your money. People do not seem to care that it is really a gussied up Armada. Is it worth it at $55,000? We can get alot of agruments about that, but bottom line there are alot of people paying that price and THAT is what really counts!!!!!

You are right when you said the the Escalade was created to compete with the Navigator.As it was rushed into production.Thats only part of the reason though.It was also created for the same reason the Navigator was.The luxury SUV market started getting bigger and bigger around that time.Cadillac not only needed to make something to compete with Lincoln,but also the likes of BMW,MB,and Lexus.And I will agree that the Navigator had the Escalade beat in sales for a few years.The Escalade took the throne in 2001 though.And has nearly doubled Navigator in sales ever since.This is because Lincoln sat back while Cadillac took ahold of the rope and improved the Escalade.And much more celebrities buy Escalades over Navigators.You have that problem with GM?You must hate Ford then.Ford Crown Vic=Grand Marquis=TownCar.FordTaurus=Sable=Continental.Ford Thunderbird=Mercury Cougar=Lincoln Mark series.Ford Escape=Mercury Mariner=Lincoln Aviator.Ford Expedition=Mercury Mountineer=Lincoln Navigator.And Ford just owns those manufacturers.Which means they profit off them.There still managed by the same people.

Ford has lost quite a bit too.The auto industry as a whole is in a crappy bind right now.
 
I like how the new Escalade looks, GM has uped the stakes now it's up to Ford/Lincoln to respond. 400HP V8, Lincoln can not carry over the 300 HP V8 again like they did when the 2nd Gen Navi came about. They need to bump it up, i would hope to at least 380 hp. They also need to do a style it a little bit more aggressive. I would love to see a navigator from the side and not have to guess whether it's an expedition or a navigator.
 
The Navigator,like the LS has a lot of potential.Lincoln just refuses to improve upon.Which is sad.I will say Lincoln was once a great car,up until the early 70's.And the 90's Marks were a bueatiful car.I won't take that from them.But with the butchering of the Mark series,and the soon to be LS,I think Lincoln has nothing going for them.Which is why I have lost all respect I once had for them.Give me a old Continental with suicide doors anyday and it will make me a nice weekender,give me a 2004 Town Car and I'll sell it for a Deville.Lincoln,all though has always been behind Cadillac,was once nearly up to par.But as of todays cars,I don't even think you Lincoln guys can say that.Which I have heard all over that the LS was being cancelled.This car has A LOT of potential,and its a shame Ford is killing it instead of investing to make it better.
 
63 continental. pure sex right there man. this old cat down the street from me has one, it was almost mine in high school for 300 bucks. needs major engine overhauling. still has it. im sure i could buy it off of him still. been thinking real hard about it, that would be awesome to own. ive wanted it since i was about 11 yrs old.
