Not bad looking at all. All I can say is that it better be packing GMs new corporate 6L80-E 6 speed automatic.

Looks like a Ford to me. Like maybe a Explorer mixed with a Expedition. I'm not a fan.

Another forgettable, style-free GM design. Like I said a few threads below, it's a godawful effort when GM desperately needs hits.

Thank you. I was beginning to think I was the only one.

Not cutting it for me. The exterior is too bland. The interior looks nicer than before, but it looks no better than any other SUV on the market *today*.

A little too slab-sided. They could have put some interesting details for the side profile. Interior looks good and the powertrain developments look promising though.

How can the same company that created the Equinox creating this horrible POS? It would not have been very hard to make it look like a larger, more refined Equinox. Awesome style goes pretty far these days and GM royally blew it with this huge, ugly, gas waster.

Yay - Wee - another 'boring to drive' 'get no second looks' SUV from the General Morons :bang:

And you won't be seeing any Camaro or Firebird concepts as it is well known that they cancelled the platform they were to be based on in favor of building what 'they' say the American public wants - more SUV's.

Guess they were right (NOT) - cause' Ford can't keep up with the Mustang orders.

I have always been a Pontiac owner & typically disliked any Ford product - but my next car will DEFINITELY be some version of the new Mustang :hail:

Very nice. I hope they share the nose with the truck. The current truck nose sucks.

I like how it looks.... but yes it is a little bland. I think the headlights should have been a bit bigger and change something with that boring grille.

Looks like a slightly rounded expedition to me with a different front end. Maybe I'm crazy.

Interior looks pretty nice though, and I definately dig the engine.. Let's hope this thing sells enough units to get GM in good enough financial shape to put us a badass f-body on the road, if nothing else.

Peace,
Josh

Production is not slated for anything as of yet. IF GM decides to build a new Camaro the earliest we can expect to see anything on showroom floors is around 2009-2010. Knowing GM a GTO replacement, RWD Buick sedan and full size RWD Chevy sedan all come before a Camaro successor unless they find a cheap way to build a Camaro halo car similar to how they got the Solstice and Sky to showrooms in a relatively quick 18 months. While Lutz said Zeta is back on track, he said the prospect of importing cars is unlikely as GM doesn't make much money from the deal after taxes and price adjustments. Not to mention GM has a deal with Canada that states if they ever resurrect the Camaro moniker, the car will be built up north rather than in the US. There are a shitload of hurdles GM has to clear before they can give us a 5th gen Camaro, so while they said the earliest we may see a Camaro is 2009-2010, I'd say a year or two, possibly three after that tentative date is more realistic just to be on the safe side. Production is not slated for anything as of yet.

I like it. Not too much, not too little.

Will the new Suburban come with a Duramax option this time around?

D.O.D can only do so much and I have a trailer to tow.

Wow very impressive. These are gonna be real sellers. How can you say GM screwed up. Their tahoe line is the best selling vehicle. This one only improves in almost every category.

For me and my family, i imagine the improved space and features and thers a lot to boot. Almost every downfall the tahoe had when i considered buying one has been fixed. The rear camera, park assist, bigger tv, power rear hatch (at least on yukon), power seats, and a NICE interior. wow all this plus a combined fuel economy of almost 21 mpg!! cmon guys thats impressive. Even SUVs in smaller segments cant meet that. this is gona be a hot one. ford better look out. and toyota better put some heavy duty work into teh next gen sequia because the original one looked to be a tahoe beater but sales said otherwise. well see. i think these next gen tahoe/yukon will be my next buy for the family.

Styling is subjective, and IMO while the vehicle itself seems like a quality piece, I still hold my opinion that the styling is screwed up. By the looks of it, about half of the people in this post agree with me. The thing is, I'm pretty sure 99% of the people here would unanimously agree that the current Yukon/Denali is a sharp looking vehicle. To go from something that everyone universally likes to something that half of the people here criticize is somewhat of a backstep if you ask me. At least from an exterior design standpoint. I NEVER SAID that they screwed up the entire product. I applaud them for getting a 6 speed automatic into these fuel whores and still finding the time to up the power.

:stupid:

The interior is great, the 6-speed is cool, the power is admirable, but the outside looks like the love child of an Expedition and the last Jeep Cherokee. They screwed the pooch on styling.

I'm not too fond of the exterior, too bland and "slab sided" as one other person put it.....that thing will take some warming up to get used to. I will say one thing tho, the interior seems to have taken LEAPS AND BOUNDS. The current interiors on those Tahoes are HIDEOUS! Good to see they cleaned it up!
