Aye, just what the Cadillac Escalade needed — more power and lower fuel economy. But hey, isn't that what "pimping" is all about? Well, other than being "not easy." And look, there's "special aero rockers" to provide this new and more sporty 'sclade "a distinctive look." You know, it kinda still looks like an Escalade to us — albeit an Escalade with a smiling grille. What say you? To find out what the General says, just hit the jump.
CADILLAC ESCALADE SPORTThe Cadillac Escalade Sport concept showcases even more of the dramatic presence and power that has made Escalade the sales and image leader among large luxury SUVs.

Modified front and rear fascias, along with enhancements including 24-inch wheels, a lowered ride height and special aero rockers provide the Escalade Sport with a distinctive look.
