Cadillac reveals the 2015 Escalade, new lord of the bling ring

The Cadillac Escalade has never lacked for attention. Launched as a rush response to the Lincoln Navigator's success in the booming SUV years of the '90s, the Escalade became the definition of automotive bling. And while buyers have slowly forsaken the carbon-belching trucks of Detroit, the Escalade has held its audience steady in the post-recession years.

Today, Cadillac unveiled the all-new 2015 edition, based on the bones of General Motors' new full-size SUVs, and if anything, Cadillac has made the Escalade more of a rolling luxury throne than ever, from the tailfin-descended taillamps to its 10-LED headlamps that shine bright like a diamond.
