Something for the Groom and Bestman ?
or other important wedding guests?
Foreword You may not have seen one of these rare cars in the metal, but you may have seen one on MTV Cribs, Pop & Rap music video's or even heard the name Escalade in Jennifer Lopez's song Love Don't Cost A Thing. Used by American President George W. Bush and by best Premiership footballers like Rio Ferdinand & Wayne Rooney, as well as being massively popular with rap and hip-hop American artists, this is a luxury SUV which is the most powerful full-size SUV in the world and carries up to eight in style.
Performance As the top range model, the Escalade 4WD SUV features a thundering 6.0-litre, eight-cylinder engine equipped with StabiliTrak; this engine cranks out 345 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque.
Interior Features
Relax and enjoy the Cadillac's fully automatic climate
control with separate front and rear controls, power windows, and power door
locks. The floor console is equipped with large

reading lamps and controls for rear
air conditioning and sunroof.
The interior also includes theatre dimming lights, outside temperature gauge, cruise control, front passenger assist handles, and a wood-and-leather trimmed steering wheel with audio controls. The interior is trimmed with supple leather. Cruise along to the tune of a 250-watt, eleven-speaker Bose Acoustimass music system with in-dash six-CD changer.
Both front passengers are treated to ten-way power seats with articulating head restraints, heated seat cushions and seatbacks, and fold-down armrests. The driver seat has a memory feature, the second-row seating has heated seat cushions and armrests at outboard positions, and the third row seating splits and folds 50/50 and is removable.
