Remember those spy photos of the next generation Cadillac Escalade and Chevy Tahoe? Turns out that GM is pretty ticked off they were taken and published on the Internet. The photos could potentially weaken interest in GM’s current crop of large SUVs and offer its competitor’s insight into the company’s plans for its highly profitable replacements. The photographer apparently called Brenda Priddy, a well-known spy photographer in the industry, and wanted to make a deal. The veteran spy shooter refused to handle the photos and warned the man not post them citing GM’s wrath for reason. The General has no tolerance for spy photographers or journalists who disregard embargoes after pics of the C6 Corvette raced around the Internet before its debut at the Detroit Auto Show this year.
