GM has officially priced its king of bling, the 2007 Cadillac Escalade, with an MSRP of $57,280 for the AWD
version. Despite being a completely new vehicle inside and out, the price is actually a carry-over from the 2006 model
thanks to GM’s new value pricing structure. A power liftgate, remote starting, side-curtain airbags, and a Bose
5.1 Surround audio system are just some of the new features that come standard now on the ‘Slade.
