Cadillac Escalade

Posted: 07 Jun 2012 03:20 PM PDT

The Cadillac Escalade followed on the heels of the Lincoln Navigator, but the Cadillac emerged as king over the long haul--and the clear winner in Detroit's battle of the blingy SUVs. In three generations on sale, the Escalade has grown into a neatly tailored and folded suit, boosted its V-8 power to unheard-of levels in a truck, and bettered its...


2013 Cadillac Escalade

Posted: 07 Jun 2012 02:38 PM PDT

Posted: 07 Jun 2012 10:24 AM PDT

With hybrids, plug-ins and electric cars in the public consciousness--if not every driveway--the big, old-fashioned sport-utility vehicle seems a little out of fashion.

It's pitched as...

Teen Texter In Massachusetts Guilty Of Vehicular Homicide

Posted: 07 Jun 2012 08:00 AM PDT

A couple of weeks ago, we asked the question, "If you text someone who's driving, can you go to jail if he crashes?" By and large, you all said that the sender of that text message shouldn't be held liable. The judge in that New Jersey case agreed. But in Massachusetts, a case came to court with much less gray area. And it should serve as a...

2013 GMC Yukon

Posted: 06 Jun 2012 02:54 PM PDT

Full-size SUVs like the GMC Yukon--along with the closely related Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban--simply aren't the hot items that they were just a few years ago.
