Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Cadillac's first major entry into the popular SUV market. The Escalade was origionaly introduced as a model based on sister-GM company GMC's "Yukon Denali", but was recently redesigned to make its appearance fall more in line with Cadillac's new design theme. The Escalade is currently one of Cadillac's most popular models, and has even spawned two variations: the Escalade EXT (pick-up version) and the Escalade ESV (stretched length model. In addition, the Escalade line has proven very popular with "after-market tuners", who personalize vehicles for usually afluent customers. Such retro-fitting is not usually done Cadillac, nor GM for that matter, but is usually completed by private companies. The most widely completed modifications include larger wheels, increased engine performance and custom paint-jobs. This article is from Wikipedia.
