1999 Cadillac Escalade | Retro Review

The SUT was HOT.

Never cared for the early ones.

That front end looks worse than I remember it

Fancy Blazer?

The humble beginnings for the eventual juggernaut of the segment. The next gen launched it into the stratosphere.

I'm sure Ford wishes they could turn back the clock on this one. Was first to the punch with the clearly better offering, and completely bungled their advantage.

I had the same impression. I remember the new Escalade, but don't remember the plainish front end.

That story has repeated more than once.

They look so good to me now. They’ve done a good job differentiating them from their corporate twins in and out.

The Navi can’t touch it. The Wagoneer is nicer on the inside at the top trim but fugly and none of them drive like the caddy. The magnetic ride keeps it so flat. My opinion anyway.

They’ve come a looooong way.
