Saw my first Tahoe in person Sat. Eve.

All in all, very sharp. I must tell you though, the sun had set, but not dark yet and it was Granite, or at least that is what I think they called it. A very dark gray metalic flake paint. Very sharp with nearly black interior. This thing had every option, and I do mean every option and stickered for over $50k!

The seams were very tight, the lines smooth and it does look bigger. The rear and it's proportions look better in person than in photos. The chrome letters "TAHOE" on the door look nice and not tacky. The interior looks very nice, a huge improvement over current models. It looks rich and sophisticated. My only gripe is the very low front valance. I swear, the wifes Impala has a higher clearance on the nose. It looks like a definate "large car" instead of a truck, but that is what the public wants. I just hope they remember the "Z71" crowd when they put the badge on the rig.

All in all, I liked it. I hope to drive one soon.

Thought I would share.

I seen a couple of them last Saturday at the local dealership. One was white and the other one was black. I thought they looked very sharp. Both of them were loaded LTZ models but they stickered for less than $50,000. I am really anxious to see what the new trucks look like.

Yeah, I seen a new one last weekend too, it was white. I didn't get to see the interior color those. I like the looks of the new front end.

I was behind one on my way to a friend's house late Friday night. It looked black, but I couldn't tell. Anyway, I liked the overall design better in person than in the pics.

I have seen one in person last sunday. it's a very nice truck but dang the front airdam is like low... I did like the gauges on it, and the overal quality of it looks ok. But at a sticker price of $51,000 I would have to live in it.

I was screwing around this morning, and swung by a dealership and drove a couple trucks. The new Tahoe was one of them.

The interior is top-notch, and it rides better than any Chevy that I've ever been behind the wheel of.

And I absolutely love the new front end. I'll have a hard time not buying an '07 pickup when they hit the streets (if they keep that front end).

I also drove a Trailblazer SS (AWD). Holy hell that's a badass truck. It launches almost as hard as a Syclone...And that's saying something right there.

I've also seen one of the new tahoes. I think it was very sharp. I passed it as it was turning into a local dealer. It was what looked like a pearl white color. Definately would like the trucks if they looked like this in the future.

There are two at a dealer in the town where I went to school. Its hard for me to believe they have 2 on the lot of a city with 4,500 people and all of the big city lots I've been by have yet to get any. I'm VERY impressed with them and I love where the new Chevrolets are going!

Power Chevy in Irvine, CA have quite a few and are already dressing them up with 22" rims. They have a black ltz with Black 5 spoke centers..looks very Euro. Not like any Chevy I've ever seen, much better in person, by far the best looking SUV out of Detroit...

I had the opportunity to sit in a new Yukon while attending the Fort Worth Stock Show / Rodeo. I must say that the seating position is nice, and the front seats are very, very comfortable. This SUV looks so much better in person, and the interior is phenomenal.

Also, I saw a Tahoe in a parking lot a few days back. It was already was sitting on 24’s…
