Mi ricordo che tempo fa uscirono un po' di foto della futura generazione di questo giocattolone! Era tutto un fake?

EDIT- come non detto, visto adesso la risposta su una vecchia discussione di questo forum. Vecchio concept di stile senza nessuno sbocco

The Sopranos,

rappers

and suburban mums (perhaps the Chinese

as well…) can all rejoice; yes, that's right, the Cadillac Escalade is

making a comeback - in fact quite a visual one, as you can see in our

illustration based on recent spy shots and our own intel.

On the heels of the latest Chevrolet

Silverado and GMC Sierra, GM's Cadillac unit has been busy massaging the

truck-based platform with the aim of turning it into America's ultimate luxury

SUV statement.

When first introduced in 1999, the aim was to tackle

opposition from the likes of the Ford Group's Lincoln Navigator. The resulting

effort was rather dismal as GM hastily took the GMC Yukon Denali as a starting

point and barely modified it; thankfully whilst still being truck-based,

successive generations have somewhat improved.

More Cadillac design DNA has filtered across the second

and third generations, widening the styling differentiation between the Escalade

and its GMC stablemate.

Released in 2006, the current

GMT900-based version has allured those with a hunger for big wheels and

chrome; however, sadly they were accompanied by an unrefined mishmash of shapes

and detailing.

The next, fourth generation model will look to rectify

these misadventures and give the world a much cleaner looking Escalade. How does

one know? Have I gone to the future and illustrated one? Well almost; the

creative rendering you see here is based on camouflaged test mules spotted along

the highway wilderness. Some details are impossible to make out, but the ones

that count have been captured and illustrated for you to see.

Starting at the business end, the frontal graphic imprints

a strong visual statement. It is dominated by the bold signature Cadillac grille

flanked by vertical headlights that sit slightly recessed against a character

line that boldly starts from the bottom intake, across the headlight/fender and

all the way back to the rear. Aligned parallel with the other side body creases,

this aesthetic is much classier, cleaner and refined.

Also lending itself to a simpler view is the all-new

glasshouse; the A-pillars are still of similar form to the Silverado/Sierra, but

beyond that the stampings are different. The C-Pillar in particular now appears

blacked out with the Cadillac emblem positioned near its base. Also new is the

chrome framing on the upper part of the doorframes. Elsewhere, the mirror-like

coatings can be found in the lower intake gills, side steps and trunk

plaque.

While we've yet to view the cabin, GM has indicated

interior differentiation will be greater than previous attempts, with more

upmarket and Cadillac-specific styling to justify the higher sticker.

We expect the new Escalade to come with a host of tech and

safety wizardry such as Cadillac's CUE system with integrated touchscreen, lane

departure warning, radar based cruise control and potentially an HUD (heads up

display) to name but a few.

As a whole, the upcoming Escalade is shaping up to be

quite a comprehensive package. Mark Reuss, President of General Motors North

America has described the next generation Caddy as being "mush less

ostentatious" and elegant. What do you think? Let us know below.

Penso sia sufficiente lo spostamento d'aria..............

credo che i pedoni finiscano direttamente in un locale imbottito ricavato all'interno della griglia radiatore. A fine giornata vengono estratti e riportati a casa loro.
