Same with width and height but, are lower to the ground.
Leg and head height are very close.
Dimensions are deceiving though, the vehicles are smaller. Period.
The real difference is the hip and shoulder room being 3-5 inches Smaller in the Lambda vehicles.

They say a V-8 will be in them but doubt it will be a 6.2 or anything even close.
Check out the Chevy Traverse.. looks like a CTS inside with an Escalade steering wheel.
The Enclave also has the Escalade steering wheel in it.
Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia
If GM makes the Escalades into Lambda vehicles they may be nice in their own way but they will never be what the Escaldes are now.

Thanks I understand it now. But if I were GM, I wouldn't make the Escalade smaller. The Escalade is an Icon to young,old people. If I say Cadillac Escalade to my friends, they think of a big SUV with a lot of bling. I think Gm is destroying the Escalade's Icon in my own opinion. If I were one gm's design managers, then I would instead use the Lambda frame then modify the frame to make the frame higher to the ground. That way, the height would be the same and there would be better leg room and space in the interior. If GM were to go with the lambda frame, then gm could say good-bye to my wallet and hopefully lose customers and realize what they did was a big mistake! Hopefully GM reads this letter.
