Re: Who's getting an 09 Escalade?

The newer navigators have the old 50s style instrument cluster look which I am not too crazy about. The white LED instrument cluster the navigator used to have looked much nicer. I don't know why Ford engineers decided to go old school on the Navigator instrumentation.

I just never liked the Navigators. I do wish the Escalade had the Navigator's fold flat third row seats. I can't believe Cadillac would leave the third row seats like they did on a $60K+ vehicle. I am hoping the next gen Escalade (2012, if there is one) will have a fully independent four wheel suspension, so they can engineer the seats to fold flat into the floor. It just makes more sense. You get a better ride quality and better features overall. I hope GM knows how many complaints there are about the GMT-900's third row seats and I hope they are busy working on the next gen Escalade's features.
