News from Cadillac
According to this article from Autoblog, GM is moving to address the Escalade's rather infamous reputation for being the most stolen vehicle in the USA. They're adding several new features to the SUV to help prevent theft, including factory wheel locks, an upgraded PASSKey system, an incline sensor to tell when the truck is being towed, and a shock sensor delicate enough to pick up a shattered window. This is all well and good of course, but there's no word on GM solving the problem of selling Escalades to drug dealers that live in bad neighborhoods where a big flashy vehicle is most likely to be ripped off.
