Time for a "2014+ Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade Models" sub-forum?

[StevenFromTexas]

Quite a few topics concerning the 2014 models. Is it time to start a new sub-forum?

 

[Modded]

I think they might as well make a General Discussions section for it and then one it comes out they can expand it.

 

[Gzes]

I think they should make a sub fourum in the 07+ and if its dramatacally different then make a seoerate sub forum for it

 

[StevenFromTexas]

Well, hot damn! It isn't too often that I am with the majority in a poll I start on this forum.

I say wait till they start showing up at dealer ships. No sense in making a sub-forum for a vehicle not out even yet.

The interior is way different. I'm thinking body style is similar to the current GMT900's but I'm not sure. I have yet to hear anything myself from work, but I'm thinking towards the middle of 2013 we may start seeing some come in with our new cars/trucks. When they do, I'll try and PDI some and report back to you guys.

Anyone know what motor choices will be for the Trucks/SUV's? 4.8, 5.3, 6.0 and 6.2, and 6.6 Duramax still?

I'm guessing they will have "OBDIII" like what the Camaro's, Cruze's, Malibu's and Equinox's have currently.

Also, a "2014+ Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade Models" sub-forum would probably have more topics started in it in a month than the "Hybrid General Discussion" sub-forum has had since those things were dumped on the market way back when.

GM has not mentioned anything about the specific engines for the new SUVs, but there are rumors of a 5.3L, 6.2L, and a EcoBoost 3.6L V6.
The Escalades and Denali lines will more than likely only have the 6.2L size available, but expect better fuel effieceny and maybe 8 speed transmissions.

 

[2010_5thgen]

well we know the 6.2 is going to remain the motor in the vette, but its a LT1 instead of a LS3. so im guessing the LT1 6.2 will be the denali escalade motor still. interested to see the other engine options. but yeah, i think a v6 turbo is gonna be standard......

 

[Goodinblack]

Might as well, it is coming sometime soon.

Also, I think it will "declutter" the general section.

Not to mention posting the spy pictures............followed by "It's A Ford", look at the Logo.

 

[imi4tth3w]

i think this new model is going to be more like the 02-03 swap of 13-14.

 

[Goodinblack]

Meaning? ^^^^

The '13's are going to look like the NBS?

 

[Regency]

No I think he means 02-03 was such a small change that these will be like that I think it'll be more major though

 

[Modded]

It will definitely be a bigger change than the 02-03 NBS changes. The spy pics indicate that. Rumor is the interior in mid/high level trims will be a lot more plush and better looking than the current Escalade at the very least.
However, I think the exterior styling of the 2014s will not make the NNBS ext/ styling look ancient, like the NNBS styling did to the NBS.
Interior wise, it more than likely will outclass the NNBS.

Let's hope the Cadillac User Experience (CUE) doesn't migrate its way to the 2014 Tahoe.

From General Motors:

"Cadillac CUE, a comprehensive in-vehicle experience that merges intuitive design with auto industry-first controls and commands for information and entertainment data, will benefit consumers by offering safe, connected driving beginning in 2012. CUE blends first-of-its-kind technology with highly intelligent design, bringing the intuitive control of smart phones and tablets safely to the road. With a clean, uncluttered design, natural voice recognition, and responsive touch screen technology, CUE creates an experience that’s as effortless as it is advanced.


Debuting in 2012 on the 2013 Cadillac XTS and ATS luxury sedans and the SRX luxury crossover, CUE is designed to be unique for each driver. For the tech-savvy, it’s everything you want it to be—a full suite of infotainment, navigation and communication tools that keeps you fully connected. But you don’t have to be a technophile to appreciate it. CUE is remarkably simple, intuitive and accessible.


The result is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced."


------------------------------


Just got my January 2013 issue of Consumer Reports, and they agree with GM about "The result is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced." Consumer Reports said there isn't anything WORSE out there right now in an automobile that Cadillac's CUE dashboard control system.

Sooooo what is bad about it? Link to articles?

 

[Modded]

It will most likely have Chevy MyLink, which is similar to CUE.
