They built that concept 40 years later and called it an Escalade. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cry.gif[/img]

I think NorCam was referring to the Escalade XLT
which looks just like an Avalanche.

During the product development we called it the &quot;Escalanche&quot;.

Seriously, though, we used the program code GMT806 (the GMT805 was the Chevrolet version).

It looks to me like you could fill the back with water and have a hot tub.

When they first released the Avalanche, I said it was the ugliest thing GM built next to the Aztek. They made it look a lot better in recent years but I still think the Escalade XLT version is far better looking.
