Wow that is not what I expected. Too bad it does not share more of the new Tahoe/Avalanche styling.

 

Looks more like a full sized Colorado.

 

The Chrome grille looks silly and cheap. The flared box is over the top. The rims are not a good complement.

 

Simply my opinion.

 

Let the opinion fly!

Does it have the 5 cylinder 3.5 liter engine too? As well as "high quality" General tires? :)

Honestly it will be easier to pass judgement when we actually see it. I'm actually more interested in the specs. HP/torque etc.

 

For those who haven't seen it take a look at GMInsidenews.

I was expecting cleaner lines also and they flattened the hood again( I like the raised hood on my "06) but yeah, we have to wait on the specs.

I think Chevy is getting to far away from what made it great to begin with, and I'm sure the GMC's will be the same. To complicated and foofy. If this is what GM trucks are going to, they are going to loose the MAN base when it comes to who's buying trucks.

I'm sure it will be like anything else though it will probably grow on us a couple of years down the road, kinda like a wort you get used to.

But right now my opinion is:

If I want something that looks like a Ford, I would buy a Ford, and it hurts me down low to even say that :happysad:

Wow... looks like the Honda Ridgeline and a Colorado mix. I don't like the looks of it at all. Where is the bold Chevy look at? If it wasn't for the emblem I wouldn't had know that was a Silverado. While there aren't too many reasons why I would be getting a new truck any time soon (I haven't even owned my 05 a year yet), the new Silverado doesn't have me wanting it. Maybe it will get more people to look at what GM has to offer and bring in new people to sell to. Whatever their reasoning, I hope somebody likes it and that it does what they want it to do... even if it does look like it is having an identity crisis. Just my .02. -Shoot2Thrill

I will keep my 2000 silverado........thank you very much.

 

I'm REALLY not liking the new silvy.............looks like GM keeps lowering the trucks year after year and now its looking like they mashed a honda and toyota truck together and came up with the new silvy.

 

I hope it looks better in real life............ :happysad:

Too much g.d. chrome again on the grille. Every year there's more and more chrome. It's a TRUCK! I liked the grilles on the GMC's a few years ago, then they had to make the chrome band even wider all around. Why not do away with the grille completely and just make the front end ALL chrome with a bowtie in the middle of it. Gaudy as all hell. IMHO.

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this thing looks like a turd!

 

Front bumper. All chrome except plastic corners?? It this a Titan thing?

 

But wait, the rear bumper is the opposite, plastic center with chrome outers. Does the word "mis-match" come to mind?

 

Bulging fenders??? If I wanted bulging fenders I would buy an H3. They look like H3 parts bin fenders in my opinion. Hell, the entire bed looks like it came from Dodge, including the tail lights!

 

The roof rack has GOT TO GO and the wheels are ugly and too small. Aftermarket wheel companies must have kicked in for ugly stockers, as they will make a small fortune selling Silverado replacement wheels!

 

The headlight assembly looks like they drew a futuristic 1987 models headlights and I agree, too much chrome on the HUGE grill. Why not just slap a F-350's grill on the front? Wait, that WOULD be better, have you seen the '07 Superduty pictures?? Hell, they are worse than this abortion of a truck!

 

If the interior matches the exterior of this truck, they have made a grave mistake! The Tahoe/Suburban/Avalance and the GMC counterparts were received well and look nice and clean. This thing looks like a train wreck between the H3 Design department and the playland at McDonalds!

 

 

 

Sorry to be so harsh, but it is just plain ugly! :happysad:

AWWW isnt that cute....NOOO that freken sucks. I am soooo dissapointed it is not even funny. I am so glad i have my 03...i will never sell it. That honestly looks like a toy that belongs in a girls dollhouse. It looks like crap. I hate to be so negative about a GM product, but honesty who are they trying to market too with that truck (sissys who also own BMW's)

 

It looks like a ford that got into a train wreck and somehow got a chevy badge on the front. It will have no clearance whatsoever and there is way to much going on with the front end. People who buy trucks want it to look like a TRUCK. Well i hate to say it but no one who wants a truck is going to be buying this unless the starting price is under 10K.

 

All i have to say is that i am really reall dissapointed with what GM is done and it is going to hurt their most valuble sales market...the truck. Be prepared guys Gm is gonna take a hit for this one.

 

NOTE: I HAVE READ THAT THESE PHOTO'S ARE FAKES....DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY TRUE EVIDENCE OF THIS?
