Because I just happen to have a picture of all four generations on my computer.

First Gen:

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Yukon Denali with some Cadillac badges thrown on.

Second Gen:

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Different exterior design, similar interior to every other GMT800 SUV.

Third gen:

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Different interior and exterior. Still rather cheap feeling (because 2007 GM)

Fourth gen:

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Just... dayum.

I'd call that a pretty good advancement.

1st gen doesn't look nearly as old as it is. That in itself is pretty impressive.

The elderly gentleman who lived diagonal from us (may he rest in peace) bought a white one identical to this new and drove it until his death. He kept it in perfect shape, barn doors and all. It looked like it just rolled out of the showroom. Pretty much like any other Caddy-driving old man, but this was an Escalade.

I have spoken enough about the Escalade. Its what keeps me interested in Cadillac, and probably always be.

That's awesome.

I assume the truck was sold at an estate sale. I'd scoop it up.

It's the last little bit of old Cadillac that's hanging around. Big, ostentatious, and vulgar. But oh so desirable and good looking.

Nope, his widow still lives there. I'm 80% sure the car was sold, but it might still be in the garage.

It'd almost be cool to drive by and the garage be open and see some pristine 90s Caddy staring out at you.

Vulgarity will never be out of style.

I haaaate these things - always double parked, almost always an asshole in the back seat, usually idling (against the law).

There's a new Escalade on campus. I always think about how damn fantastic it looks when I walk by it.
