Drove a ton of new GM 07 models today

[Zane]

As some of you know, Josh and I love to write about cars. Each year we get the journalist invite to GM's new model year preview. We get to drive the coolest stuff. Today alone we drove around $525,000 worth of vehicles, including an XLR-V, Z06, Escalade EXT, STS-V and more..

 

Here are some pictures from the trip..

Nice

 

What is the blue gmc suv?

 

Also the Z71 sticker on the gmc looks out of place. Its way to high

[Elwood 2000]

Sweet looking pics. The fellow in the Z06 looks like he is about to explode from excitement!

 

Do the GM trucks look better in person? Did you get to drive them? The GMC in the picture looks sweet and the design is growing on me.

 

Tell us more!!

[ZZebes]

awesome pics and did you get to drive the sierra???

[Z71GUY]

Why does GM feel they need to design the bottom of the bumper so d**n close to the ground??? Seems like each "re-model" it gets lower and lower.

 

 

I never knew the Z71 package now included a snow plow.

Hey, if you ever need another driver or a partner to ride with, give me a call

I agree,Its bad enough that the trucks sit so d@*n low to the ground as it is,then GM has to magnify the "low stance" look by giving it a low air dam.

If its a 2wd I have no problem with it sitting low to the ground,But the 4x4's should look like a 4x4.

i think the clearance is better than the 06s the air dams just keep getting lower.

[MS3DALE]

Yea,I agree.

I just hope on the new-'07s you can remove the lower part of the air dam like you can on the '05-up trucks.

Though I agree that the GM trucks sit low compared to Dodge and Ford. So if you don't have a lift kit and you pull up next to a dodge or ford you feel a little small. However, this is one of the ways that GM can keep their trucks getting the best mpg. The lower a vehicle the better the aerodynamics. Those low air dams cut the air out from under the vehicle and reduce drag at higher speeds. Thats why I get 20+ mpg on the highway vs. my buddy with his F-150 gets about 17 mpg. I am willing to sacrifice the look right now for some savings at the pump.

I'd totally end up ripping that air dam off the first time I took it off the road...Hell I know places around here I could rip it off and never LEAVE the road.
