Anyone else see the '06 Tahoe on the cover of this months Truck Trend??

That 07 Suburban sucks. They better shave their asses and teach them to drive backwards.

Actually, the GMCs look like shit, too. On the Edmunds site you can see pics of the new Yukon. Horrible front end.

There is more to a truck that just stlying.

Engineering for a change?

The new interior looks to have much better materials and gaps than the current one.

current LT 4x4



New LT?

As if other cars don't?

My dad's $70,000+ Porsche 911 has (minor) rattles.

Find me any machine that doesn't make some kind of odd noise from time to time

Obviously. But, if styling wasn't an issue, then I wouldn't be driving a Chevy. Theres always the Honda Ridgeline, the Titan, the Ram, the (heaven forbid) F150...

Basically, I'm not going to drop 40 grand on an ugly truck no matter the engineering improvements. I can get that 30 extra HP outta the current model with not much money worth of mods and it'll still look good. Call me a traditionalist, old school, whatever, but I still want my truck to look like a truck. And I bet that I'm not even close to alone on this one.

I think GM has always lagged behind the big 3 in style. Remember the Aztek? What kind of drugs was that designer on? And who slipped the same drugs to management to approve that fustercluck on wheels.

I didn't like the legacy F150 looks, but I think the 04's+ look better than the Silverados (with the exception of the insanely too high beds). I just didn't like the harshness of the ride.

Even the new center of the dash looks like the ford!

Welll I agree my next truck may not be an 07 Chevy, i like the 06 1500 with the HD style hood but I was lookin more at the 07/08 f350 twin turbo diesel. I dont think i would buy another truck without diesel.

As for the GM 07 SUV's Escalade, Tahoe, Yukon...they look like trash, i think my neighbors 97 expedition looks the same.

[sledneck781]

btw... I have the composite bed package on my 03 Silverado...its nice but i have had some issues. Ask if u need to know more.
