[Emu the Foo]

COREY R IS EVEN MORE FAMOUS!!!

its at the end roughly 4:30 into it. i didnt know this about this i just you tubed solstice he is on fast lane daily(never heard of it) all of us are there too. the mention camaro5.com i love this site

[Mr. Wyndham]

That's great!

It's too bad they got the story backwards...made the "testers" look bad. THEY didn't give corey the finger...rather the other drivers on the road did. The engineers were real nice people, according to Corey.
Aw well...seems even 'reporters' can't read.......
But great stuff that we got a shout-out!

[Emu the Foo]

its ok. i feel like im a celebrity now. but GRATZ to you Corey.


CAMARO5 is now interwebs famous thanks to our fwend

Was Corey a member when the pics were posted? Not that it particularly matters. I feel bad for the person that is in the car with me the first time I see a new Camaro on the road. I just hope that I won't have to go anywhere important when it happens

I caught that too, just what GM vehicle is it that has LED headlights?

[Mr. Wyndham]

's a Caddy. I know that for sure...just forgot which one. Gimme a few and I'll edit the post with the car.

Dang! Thought we had something there.

Actually to be honest my last post was a ribbing on 2 friends i worked with in the paintshop who are on this board.

The orangepeel effect ou see is on all GM vehicles.
It's on all Ford,dodge,toyota, nissan etc etc

It has nothing to do with GM as Gm does not make the paint. Our trucks get sprayed with PPG paint and our cars with Dupont. We have one to a powder primer and waterbased paint, which may have something to do with it. Short of colorsanding every vehicle you will always have that effect. So until Dupont and PPG figure out a way to eliminate it, we will always see it.

Segment-first, innovative LED headlamps

Escalade Platinum will be the first SUV - and one of the first vehicles of any kind - to offer Light Emitting Diode (LED) headlamps. Used previously only on concept vehicles or exotic sports cars, LED headlamps mark another step in Cadillac's application of advanced lighting technology and design.

LED headlamps emit a greatly more precise light pattern, while emulating the characteristics of natural daylight much more closely than traditional auto lighting. LEDs are environmentally friendly, using much less power and lasting more than 20 times longer than traditional halogen bulbs. LED headlamps will be an enhancement added to the Escalade Platinum in the summer of 2008, shortly after the start of production of the Platinum model itself in the spring of 2008.

So is the grill going to stay like that or will the vert lines come back?

Okay, sorry to be a spoiler here, but my '06 Silverado DOES NOT have any orange peel. Neither did my '99 Silverado, my '03 Tahoe, or our latest '08 Enclave. I don't remember seeing any on my wife '97 Avenger, or our '00 Grand Cherokee either.

And, before anyone else tries to tell me that I'm full of it and just didn't see it....I was in the detail department for years. I clean my own cars just like I'm still in the detail department (although it's a little depeleted right now, a couple cabinets in my garage look like I stole them straight out of the dealerships detail shop...don't send out any black suburbans....lol). I know what orange peel is, I know how to look for it, and I even know how to fix it when I see it. I don't have any and haven't had any on my cars. Just lucky? Doubt it. Does it happen? Sure, but I don't think it happens all that often any more. For any manufacturer, not just GM.
