Seems like the 6.2 for 2016 will get the 8 speed trans and the escalades will have a new grill design. IM going to be waiting for the model i think. After seeing the 2007 have issues the 08 resolved this im going to wait on buying one.

stabiltrack turning and lights going off. Tons of electrical issues on the 07. First model year usually has issues that the next year takes care off. At this point im going to hold off until the end of the year until the 16s come out. By that time blowers will be released so ill prob put a tvs2300 or whipple 2.3 on it.

I don't think there will be issues with the 15's but I do suspect, with the vette getting the 8speed, the eski and Denali will follow suit for the 16' model year. I will place my order the moment we get confirmation on the specs for the 16's in 6-8 months. If we get confirmation the 16's are getting the 8speed ill place my order for the 16' at that moment. If not I'll pick up a steeply discounted 15'. Regardless, I'll be picking up my loaded Denali XL at the dealer in 9-12 months.
