I was curious what the redesigned Silverado would look like and I found this photo. It's advertised as the 2007 to be released in late 2006. I thought they weren't supposed to do a redesign until 2008. This looks like a freakin' ford wrapped in tarps to me. What do you think?

Here's another look:

What do I think...I want the powertrain dropped into my '02 body..that's what I think!!!! Looks like the '99-'02 line is destined to become a classic before its time!!!!

You stole the words right out of my mouth. 99-02 is still my favorite body style. If the rest of the truck holds up I plan on doing a power transplant in the next few years when the good stuff gets affordable.

Damn... chevy followed suit with the rest of the manufacturers, and made the trucks too damn high. On a positive note, DOD technology is pretty freaking cool. Too bad about the quadrasteer... My last car was a Honda Prelude with 4WS, and that was freakin' awesome

That's the Cheyenne concept... The truck under the tarps didn't seem to share many of the body lines with the Cheyenne

how long does it take for a 99-02 silverado to be come a classic??? how many models need to be made after it??? in my opinion its a classic already when my truck gets old enough im going to get a classic emblem out of a caprice and put it next to the silverado emblem "Silverado Classic" LOL

I must say the dash looks pretty cool. It reminds me of the style Chevy used in their cars (Belair and Impalla) in the late 50's, early 60's.... but damn it's kinda a pisser for the automotive press to refer to our trucks as old and tired and all that other malarky!!!! The front sort of looks like a Nissan Titon..errr Titan. A Ricer Siverado...Damn, there goes the neighborhood.

The next GM trucks and suvs will be shown at auto shows next year.

They will have fully-boxed frames. They need the 4.2 liter 275 hp I-6.

They pulled forward the new trucks and suvs back in March, but GM has revived plans for rwd cars.

check the link

New rwd cars

They're ugly. Period. I like 99-02 styling, 03-05 interior. I bet it'll cost like $45K too

I do not know if the 2007 Silverado will look like the 2007 Tahoe or not but go to www.gminsidenews.com and take a look at the new Tahoe. I would guess that the front end and the dash would be the same. Take a look and let us know what you think.

I'm gonna have to see if that one grows on me... My main concern is that the truck not have plastic-wrapped bumpers like that
