"Is it what GM calls the DSC (Driver Shift Control) mode that they have in the 2007 Escalades, other caddies, vettes and some of the pontiacs? If so, here exactly are the "tap-up/tap-down" controls that a lot of the GM docs on this feature describe?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Transmission: six-speed automatic with Driver Shift Control (DSC), electronically controlled Driver Shift Control allows the driver to manually shift gears for either sporty driving, or while trailering or driving in the mountains.

Here is the "M" on the Escalade........

That's the description I found too, but I was wondering what controls do you use to do the manual shifting. Is it something where you bump the gear selector right and left like in some sports cars? Or is it paddle shifters behind the new wheel?

They've been putting the paddle shifters behind the wheel now I suppose because it is rather silly reaching down to make the shift when you aren't doing anything directly that influences the transmission. It's all electronic. So they could be hiding there on the wheel.

I had mentioned the tie rods because from the pics, they look the same as the current ones. I have never had a problem with them however.

I would assume this engine is compatible with E85. This assumption relates back to the idea that Hummer has said it will be the first brand to offer alt. fuels on every model. E85 gets worse mileage than gas however contrary to a previous poster.

I think in person the "orange" will look better. The BMW X3 has a similar color interior (terracotta), and it's much better than in the photos that were originally released.

On my dad's Saab, when you put it in 'Sport' mode, you can switch gears by giving the gas pedal a quick pump down and up... Maybe that could be incorperated... (Both GM products...)

My car is 11 years old and does that! Amazing! I think they call it overdrive.
