I'm no fan of the Cadillac Escalade or any monster SUV for that matter. Yet I really admire the treatment GM's designers have given the newest version, ladelling on the chrome trim as though we were back in the 60's again. (Good grief, I never thought I'd say that! After all, I was one of those "blackout" disciples who praised the replacement of chrome with black, black, and more black.) Like black-on-white interior decor and black suits with tie-less white shirts, the non-color has become depressingly boring. Chrome, on the other hand, is jewellery. Cautiously applied, it can make the dullest of cars more appealing. I was wrong about black and welcome a return to chrome trim on more cars, even if it takes an SUV to encourage the trend. Thanks, Cadillac, and when may we see the return of tail fins and whitewalls?
