Seriously whoever was advocating to remove the OLED screens from the base Escalade needs to be fired and never allowed within 500 feet of a GM facility for eternity.

It's my opinion that using oled is a huge mistake. Screen burn in or image retention, is a huge problem that is plaguing the cell phone, TV and monitor market currently. When the brightness is dialled up to combat sunlight, the problem accelerates. My last couple phones have had this problem, and it's a large issue on the av forums.

I don't know if the screens HAD to be OLED or not...I feel like a good quality high resolution SHD LED screen might have been just fine. Maybe to fit in that area, OLED had to be used...I don't know. That said, I agree that it should be in every damn Escalade.

GM apparently addressed this, the images displayed on the OLED screens will shift subtlety to prevent it. They're estimating at least 15 years of life from the screens.

I guess the NA part makes sense, but the 458 hasn't been made for years. why test against a car that's been out of production for years. Almost seems Ford like lol

At least I hope its N/A. An F/I engine for the Z06 and a more powerful F/I engine for the ZR1 kinda ruined the special nature of both vehicles for me.

an NA Z06 would be awesome again. I remember getting a ride in a family friends C6 Z06 and was just in awe of how it performed |

I've driven my dad's Z/28 plenty of times and have driven a couple ZL1s. Sure, the ZL1 is faster but the Z/28 is awesome, even with "only" 505 horsepower.

Someone is selling a set of GM carbon fiber wheels. They could be from the C8 but no one knows for sure.

The last Chevrolet Impala (for now), and the last internal combustion powered vehicle built at Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly (for now).

Thanks for posting. Good luck to the plant. I hope they made the right decisions. Too bad for the Impala, but I guess it had a good run overall. Mine is 2 1/2 years old already, zero issues. Good running car.
