Kid Rock's first order of business at Saturday night's GM Style event in Detroit: Gettin' up close and personal with the 2008 Cadillac Escalade Platinum (see photo, left). GM claims its the "most luxurious model in the Escalade lineup" -- rollin' on 22-inch wheels, and fitted with an interior draped in hide that's stitched by hand.

Across the Motor City, Mercedes-Benz previewed its Vision GLK -- a concept compact SUV that's likely to hit the production line early next year.
