Rodeo"
Hollywood's A-List
Welcome New 2007 Cadillac Escalade Amongst the Worlds Most
Luxurious Brands
LOS ANGELES, CA -- The 2007
Cadillac Escalade made its worldwide premiere in Beverly Hills
last night at the grand opening of "Escalade on Rodeo."
The red carpet rolled out for the week-long celebration where
Oscar-winner Adrien Brody hosted the opening night preview party,
"Chrome Couture." Guests including Allison Janney,
Paris Hilton, Stavros Niarchos, Wilmer Valderrama, DJ AM, Regina
King, Chris Kattan, Wolfgang Puck, Virginia Madsen, Jadakiss,
Frankie Muniz, Eduardo Verastegui, Anthony Anderson, Billy
Morrison, Eddie Griffin, John Salley, Rachel Hunter, Rodney
Peete, Styles P and Vida Guerra had an exclusive first look at
the 2007 Escalade, the next-generation of the iconic luxury SUV.
"Since its inception,
Escalade has been an icon - a luxurious vehicle that discerning
customers aspire to own," said Jim Taylor, Cadillac general
manager. "It makes perfect sense to debut the 2007 Escalade
in Beverly Hills where style, luxury and design all come together
on Rodeo Drive."
Nestled amongst the world's most
well-known designers, the all-new Cadillac Escalade establishes a
new level of refinement and style, delivered with an instantly
recognizable form that introduces the next step in Cadillac's
design renaissance. "Escalade on Rodeo" will be open
for a limited engagement in Beverly Hills for private previews
and exclusive test drives. Consumers will have chance to get a
sneak peek at the vehicle when the doors open to the public for
one day only on Saturday, November 12.
Cadillac has had a long
association with Hollywood that spans across music, television,
films and celebrities since its inception in 1903. Hollywood
stars have been driving Cadillac's since the days of Jean Harlow
and Elvis Presley and the vehicles have been featured in over 25,000
songs, 154 television shows and over 90 feature films.
Based on General Motors' all-new
full-size SUV platform, the '07 Escalade features new powertrain,
chassis, safety and interior systems. These integrated systems
deliver the most powerful and most efficient luxury SUV in the
segment, led by a new 6.2L all-aluminum V-8 engine with variable
valve timing technology delivering 403 horsepower (301 kw) and
417 lb-ft of torque.
Cadillac Escalade will be
available in the first quarter of 2006, with extended-wheelbase
Escalade ESV and Escalade EXT models to be introduced later in
the year. The Escalade family is one of the most aspirational
nameplates in the industry and attracts the youngest customers in
Cadillac's portfolio of automobiles.
