Next Generation Escalade - Introducing The 2015 Cadillac Escalalde...Platinum Edition

Cadillac  

      Cadillac the company was firmly established on 22 August 1902, the company was named after French explorer  Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, The founder of the modern day city of Detroit. Acquired shortly afterwards by industry leading automotive giant General Motors Cadillac immediately began to lay the foundation as well as set the standard  for mass production within the automotive industry. From the gate the Cadillac brand has simply relied on precision manufacturing coupled with full-size luxurious reliability to establish itself within the industry.

   The fact of the matter...the truth about it...the bottom line in full-size luxurious transportation is that for than 100 years Cadillac has simply produced a better-made vehicle than its competitors. Which transitions us smoothly into real reason were here ...The '15 Escalade Platinum by Cadillac.

Cadillac has now decided for 2015 to come with the Platinum edition and its nice! For what ever reason Cadillac felt as though  it was time to take it up a notch and were all glad they did...introducing the Platinum Edition Escalade by Cadillac.

         Deemed the "next generation" Escalade the '15 Platinum edition is truly something special from Cadillac. A limited luxury one-of-a-kind SUV stuffed with eye-catching features and amenities all seamlessly merged perfectly into this unique one of a kind Cadillac design. The exterior has been completely redesigned to show a much more aggressive SUV to match the 460 lb Foot Pounds of Torque being dispersed. It also displays much sharper lines than before along with a much more handcrafted look on both the front and rear ends. The chrome is selectively displaced perfectly (as only Cadillac can). It was clear to all this was a new statement and it was being made in a Platinum way. Leadership and vision is nothing new at all to Cadillac. I remembered back when I personally watched Cadillac systematically etch out an entirely new class of vehicle, the SUV. And not only made the rest of us understand it...but also accept it.  I wondered in what direction this new futuristic Platinum Escalade would take us all in...only Cadillac knew.

       So to write this article I got to meet one of these Platinum units in person. I've been on several Cadillac locations before. I always can feel the luxury rubbing up against me as I walked around the the showrooms keeping company with the new models. I moved around the showroom taking in the sedans as they sat silently in all of their Cadillac uniqueness...then I walked upon the Escalade, Platinum. This felt a little different, a little more futuristic...a little more 2015. Immediately I knew as it sat looking at me exuding the bygone days of De' Elegance. I knew the SUV would exude its star-power and possibly have a $90,000 Dollar attitude. I was right. The SUV insisted on being remaining right where it was...firmly entrenched in the future. So I knew if I wanted a story I would have to move away from today and go to 2015, it was not coming to 2014 it simply didn't fit in. The SUV was right I'd been to the future before and I knew how vastly different it was. Only  this time it was an issue of importance...this time time it was about luxury...Platinum luxury. So I conceded.
     Once I arrived I took a few minutes and soaked in its luxurious futuristic appeal. Then slowly I began to pick it apart inside out. I needed to know what made the Platinum edition so special so I opened the door on the passengers side and noticed immediately how silently seamless the Hand-Sewn Leather and Selective Walnut came together on the inside to both wrap up the touch screen technology and driver control  gauges and provide passenger pleasure. I believe this was the first time I've ever physically observed comfort in its natural state. I stepped out  and closed the door and took a few steps back just to soak it all in from an overall perspective...A Cadillac perspective. So I let my eyes flow along the much sharper lines. I noticed as they met at exactly the right angles achieving the desired ergonomic aerodynamic balance on the outside. What impressed me the most was how it all sat comfortably atop these '22 Inch dish rims.
      In conclusion I have to say this is a true "Sport Utility Vehicle" from every aspect. This is a Cadillac SUV its evident by the fresh wide open use of luxury in such a selective way while still respecting the overall "utility" aspect of the vehicle. The power the prestige all showed up successfully in the Platinum representation I saw here nothing new though...
       Since 1902 I thought, Cadillac has been consistently coming to the forefront of the automotive industry with luxurious vehicles of this type which simply continue to set automotive standards while also commanding unmatched precedence in almost every aspect of transportation. I returned to the present not long ago with a whole new understanding of "Sport Utility Vehicle". I have firmly placed my stamp of approval...This is a true Cadillac...The 2015 Escalade Platinum

The Lamborghini Huracan - The Perfect Predeccessor

    The Lamborghini Huracan

     As we all know all good things no matter how great must come to an end. Change being as powerful as it is demands adaptation in almost every way which brings change by nature. So after 10 years and 14,022 units sold the production run of the most recognizable super-cars ever to run the Lamborghini Gallardo has come to an end. Being for many years one of Lamborghini's most recognizable models for years the Gallardo did in fact have a nice successful decade as a true super-car in every aspect. With the retirement of the Gallardo Lamborghini now had a hole in their line of models. As the Aventador represented the company in terms of styling there wasn't a true "performer" in their stable. Lamborghini it seemed for the first time could get taken off the line! Speaking 0-60 the king of super-cars was vulnerable.
   

Introducing the Lamborghini Huracan. Named after a famous fighting bull from the late 1800's the Huracan was brought in to represent the company in one way. A super car with one purpose, to perform the car to re-establish Lamborghini as the king of super-cars. Properly named after a bull as it sat looking much like one. due to very aggressively bold styling looked much like the bull it was named after. Powerful muscular lines accented by sharp contrasting design. It wore the aggressive "Bullish" look perfect and according to its specs, it drove like like a bull also.
    Performance means power and a 5.2 Liter V-10 is power. The Huracan came with a 58 hp increase over the Gallardo. The Huracan due to such power instantly became a major player in the  super-car game being one of the few production cars crossing 200 MPH. This was something new by Lamborghini something unique. The sound of the V-10 is hypnotic sounding like a true fire-breathing Dragon. It sounds like it looks, fast! Capable of getting from a dead stand still to 62 MPH in only 3.2 seconds I would say this is a serious top 10 contender in the world of super-cars. I wondered what would I do with 610 Hp at my fingertips? How would feel to 6 seconds later to be well over 100? Could I take corners at such speeds comfortably in the Huracan, I wondered. This was a lot of power fortunately it was supported by dynamic responsive steering as well as Carbon Ceramic brakes to slow down such big bull in full stride.
    It would seem hard as it would seem to replace the legendary Gallardo Lamborghini did a very tasteful professional job of pulling off thr transition. Retiring one model while introducing another without the 2 touching literally. The Gallardo was retired as a one of a kind classic a one of a kind model run. While the Huracan was simultaneously released to begin its own model run as the companies performer. We can only hope for the best as the Huracan begins its run on a good note.  Let's see what happens a few years down the road in term of establishment.

       At any rate it seems :Lamborghini has struck Gold again with this Huracan. Released to an overwhelmingly positive public the model did very well worldwide on many levels. Of course it has a lot do with tradition and heritage after all it is still a Lamborghini. With that being said it still is a true performer when it comes to speed, the reason were here!
