The '''Cadillac Escalade''' is a [[full-size]] luxury [[sport utility vehicle]] (SUV) sold by the [[General Motors]] [[luxury car|luxury]] brand, [[Cadillac]]. It was the division's first major entry into the popular SUV market. The Escalade was introduced for the 1999 model year in response to [[Germany|German]] and [[Japan]]ese competitors and to [[Ford Motor Company|Ford's]] 1998 release of the [[Lincoln Navigator]]. The Escalade project went into production only ten months after it was approved. The standard Escalade is built in [[Arlington, Texas]]. The name [[Escalade]] refers to a siege warfare tactic of scaling defensive walls or ramparts with the aid of ladders or [[siege tower]]s. |
|||
Someone living in Britain could ask for an interview from the Author [[Michael_Bond|Michael Bond]] for [[Wikinews|Wikinews]]. |
|||
The Escalade was originally based on the [[GMC Yukon Denali]], but was redesigned for the 2002 model year to make its appearance fall more in line with Cadillac's new design theme. Today, the Escalade and Escalade EXT pickup are two of only three Cadillac vehicles made outside of the [[United States]]. Both the Escalade ESV (Based on the [[Chevrolet Suburban]]) and Escalade EXT (based on the [[Chevrolet Avalanche|Avalanche pickup truck]]) were made in [[Silao]], [[Mexico]] before the 2006 redesign; the new Escalade ESV is sourced from Arlington, Texas. The Escalade competes with the [[GMC Yukon Denali]], the [[Infiniti QX56]], the [[Lincoln Navigator]], the [[Mercedes-Benz GL-Class]], and the [[Audi Q7]]. |

The introduction of the [[Lincoln Navigator]] in 1999 necessitated that General Motors be able to compete in the burgeoning American market for full-size luxury-type sport utility vehicles. This generation was only a five-seat SUV. The first Escalade was a largely unsuccessful endeavor from the start. Fearing the growing hegemony of the Lincoln Navigator, the Escalade was rushed through the design process to reach dealers quickly. Essentially little more than a badge-engineered [[GMC Denali|GMC Yukon Denali]], the SUV's aesthetics were similar and identical to the Denali and the final vehicle was smaller than the Navigator. The Escalade's wheels were borrowed from the Denali line, with the GMC logos on the center caps replaced with Cadillac's crest. The Escalade also used the same 5.7 [[Liter|L]] ''[[GM Vortec engine#5700|Vortec 5700]]'' [[V8]] at 255 [[Horsepower|hp]] (190 [[Watt#Kilowatt|kW]]), which was greatly underpowered compared to the Navigator's 300 hp and 365 lb/ft 5.4 Liter [[InTech]] V-8. All first-generation Escalades featured [[Autotrac]] selectable 4x4. |

There was no 2001 year Escalade sold for the 2001 model year. The lineup went directly from model year 2000 to 2002. This was done by introducing the 2002 model in January 2001 while still selling the present production 2000 model year car. [[Rear-wheel drive]] was standard, as was a 5.3 L V8, with all-wheel drive and the special [[GM Vortec engine#HO 6000|high-output Vortec]] 6.0 L [[V8 engine]] as options. All models (except for the EXT) began seating 8 people. |

The "StabiliTrak" [[stability control]] system was upgraded to a four-wheel version for 2003 and power-adjustable pedals were added. For 2004, 20-inch [[Chrome plating|chrome]] wheels were offered, and [[XM Satellite Radio]], second-row [[bucket seat]]s, and a [[tire pressure]] monitoring system were made standard on all Escalades except the EXT. The 5.3 L engine was dropped for 2005 and the [[OnStar]] system was upgraded. Also in 2005, the Platinum edition was introduced at the price of $75,000; it featured heated and cooled cup holders, 20 inch chrome wheels, moon roof, three DVD screens, and chrome accents on the steering wheel and grille. |

The Escalade moved to the new [[GMT900]] platform for the 2007 model year. Its introduction was accelerated as sales began slipping. The regular Escalade was again joined by a stretched ''ESV'' version as well as a new ''EXT'' [[pickup truck]]. The 2007 Escalade was the official vehicle of [[Super Bowl XL]], with [[Super Bowl MVP|MVP]] [[Hines Ward]] being awarded one of the first Escalades produced. |

They made those raindrops using airfix glue - a drop at a time. Took days of work!--'''[[User:seahamlass|<font color="black">seahamlass</font>]]''' 11:47, 24 June 2008 (UTC) |
|||
The Escalade uses an all-aluminum 6.2 L ''[[GM Vortec engine|Vortec]]'' V8. This [[pushrod engine]] includes [[variable valve timing]], a first in a mass-produced non-[[overhead cam]] engine. The system adjusts both intake and exhaust timing between two settings. The [[Internal combustion engine|engine]] produces 403 hp (301 [[Watt|kW]] (23 hp more than its sister competitor, the GMC Yukon Denali) and 417 ft·lbf (565 [[Newton meter|N·m]]) of torque. A new six-speed [[GM 6L80 transmission|6L80]] [[automatic transmission]] is used. The new body completes a 0.363 [[coefficient of drag|drag coefficient]], though the large frontal area badly affects aerodynamics. |
|||
== Short stories? == |
|||
The Escalade has gone under two minor changes for the 2008 model year. On the automatic trunk button, the "off" signal has changed from an "O" to the word "off." Also, the word "Escalade" has gone from the left side of the trunk lid to the right side. |
|||
Another change was that it started seating 9. |
|||

|||
One major new feature absent from the production vehicle is [[American Axle]]'s "I-Ride" rear [[independent suspension]] module. Instead, a conventional five-link suspension is used. |
|||

|||
Production of the redesigned Escalade began at [[Arlington Assembly]] in January 2006. It is priced from [[USD|US$]]57,280, though the [[rear-wheel drive]] version at this price was not produced until August. The more expensive [[all-wheel drive]] version was produced first, followed by the long wheelbase ''ESV'' and ''EXT'' pickup (the latter sourced from the [[Silao]], [[Mexico]], plant) in June. |

The Escalade EXT has been outsold by the [[Lincoln Mark LT]] pickup truck right from its launch for the 2006 model year. The new 2007 EXT, however, has gained consistently on its Lincoln competitor and edged past the latter in March, May, October and December 2007 sales, yet ending the calendar year stll lagging by 5% with 7,967 units sold <ref>[http://media.gm.com:8221/servlet/GatewayServlet?target=http://image.emerald.gm.com/gmnews/viewmonthlyreleasedetail.do?domain=6&docid=42261 GM Media Online<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> (Mark LT sales were 8,382) <ref>[http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=27379 Media.Ford.com: CROSSOVERS, LINCOLN HIGHLIGHT FORD’S 2007 SALES PERFORMANCE; FURTHER GROWTH EXPECTED IN 2008<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |

The Escalade can accelerate to 60 [[miles per hour|mph]] (97 [[Kilometers per hour|km/h]]) in 6.5 [[second]]s. [[Fuel economy]] is rated at 12 [[Miles per gallon|mpg]] (16.8 L/100 km) in the city and 19 mpg (12.4 L/100 km) on the highway. |

== "As notable as Winnie-the-Pooh"? == |
|||
==Escalade EXT== |
|||
:''"The polite immigrant bear from Darkest Peru, with his old bush hat, battered suitcase and marmalade sandwiches has become a classic English children's literature icon, and is as notable as Winnie-the-Pooh."'' |
|||
The '''Escalade ''EXT''''' [[pickup truck]] (released alongside its twin, the [[Chevrolet Avalanche]]) was introduced in 2002 from the [[Cadillac]] division of [[General Motors]]. It features a "Convert-a-Cab" composite pickup bed that can be expanded into the truck's cab through a bottom-hinged door. Like the Avalanche, the ''EXT'' has four [[full-size]] [[door]]s and seating for five. The ''EXT'' was only offered with the 6.0 [[Liter|L]] High Output [[engine]]. [[high-intensity discharge]] headlights were offered for 2003. The Escalade ''EXT'' also appears in the movie, [[The Matrix Reloaded]] along with the [[Cadillac CTS|CTS]] in [[product placement]] ads. All Escalade EXTs are built in [[Silao]], [[Mexico]]. |
|||
I'm tempted to remove the comparison with Winnie-the-Pooh, unless a good reference can be found (''"...literature icon, whose cultural influence has been compared to that of Winnie-the-Pooh'' '''[ref]''' ''"''). Otherwise, the comparison seems to constitute [[WP:OR|original research]]. Apart from the two characters being bears, as opposed to tank engines for example, I'm not convinced they have much in common. [[User:Mtford|Mtford]] 15:14, 25 September 2007 (UTC) |
|||
The Escalade ''EXT'' (based on the [[Cadillac Escalade]]) was created as a direct competitor to the failed [[Lincoln Blackwood]], a pickup truck based on the [[Ford F-150]]. Currently, it competes with the soon-to-be-discontinued [[Lincoln Mark LT]], another F-150-based pickup truck that made its debut in 2006. |

There's a 50 year article in the times with an extract (presumably from the new book ?) - [http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/article3831723.ece?token=null&offset=24] -- John <span class="plainlinks" style="font-family: Verdana; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: 11px; text-align: center;">([[User:Daytona2|Daytona2]]<span style="font-weight:bold;"> ·</span> [[User talk:Daytona2|Talk]]<span style="font-weight:bold;"> ·</span> [[Special:Contributions/Daytona2|Contribs]])</span> 07:12, 7 May 2008 (UTC) |
|||
==Pop culture== |
|||
The Escalade has quickly become an easily recognizable presence in pop culture, where it is commonly identified with hip hop culture. It has been featured in many [[hip hop music]] videos. [[Bernie Mac]] drove an Escalade on his sitcom, ''[[The Bernie Mac Show]]'', continuing the brand's popularity among TV stars and stand up comedians. [[Tony Soprano]] began driving a black Escalade during season 5 of'' [[The Sopranos]]'', and after wrecking it in order to avoid a raccoon in the road, he quickly replaced it with a white Escalade ESV. [[Christopher Moltisanti]] also gets himself a black Escalade EXT after his [[Maserati]] he got from [[Johnny Sacramoni]] was repossessed. |
|||
The Escalade was also mentioned in an episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'' as God's vehicle of choice. Also, the [[Twins (The Matrix)|Twins]] in the [[Matrix Reloaded]] drive an Escalade EXT in the car chase sequence. [[Kendra Wilkinson]], one of [[Hugh Hefner]]'s girlfriends, drives an Escalade and she is often seen driving it and car-washing on the [[E!]] [[reality show]] ''[[The Girls Next Door]]''. Second generation Escalades are featured in [[video games]] [[Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition]], [[Need for Speed: Underground 2]] and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] (as the Cavalcade). This vehicle also made an appearance in the game [[Driver Parallel Lines]] as the "Montara". In the popular [[MTV]] reality show, [[The Hills]], [[Brody Jenner]] sports a black Cadillac Escalade, amongst others. |

Someone living in Britain could ask for an interview from the Author Michael Bond for Wikinews.
- Confirm a number of facts and get more information.
- Get photographs of original illustrations from him with a GFDL license or equivalent to use them here.

They made those raindrops using airfix glue - a drop at a time. Took days of work!--seahamlass 11:47, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Paddington Bear on Canadian Romper Room?
I'm trying to think back to when I was two years old, but I seem to remember Paddington Bear segments airing on the Canadian edition of Romper Room. Mjlarochelle 04:01, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Major Edit/Section Deletions
I am keen to edit this into a good article. I have started with small changes and additions, but now think that a major revision is in order. I intend to delete the unreferenced Species (opinion not fact) and Influences on Fashion sections in light of info from the official Paddington site. The 2nd paragraph of the introduction is repetitive and requires revision.

"As notable as Winnie-the-Pooh"?
- "The polite immigrant bear from Darkest Peru, with his old bush hat, battered suitcase and marmalade sandwiches has become a classic English children's literature icon, and is as notable as Winnie-the-Pooh."
I'm tempted to remove the comparison with Winnie-the-Pooh, unless a good reference can be found ("...literature icon, whose cultural influence has been compared to that of Winnie-the-Pooh [ref] "). Otherwise, the comparison seems to constitute original research. Apart from the two characters being bears, as opposed to tank engines for example, I'm not convinced they have much in common.
