What Will Chevy Unveil At The 2009 Auto Show?

[excaliber]

I just got off the phone with a rep from Chevy after I wrote to them asking why there is no 6.5' bed or 6 speed tranny on the 1500 Silverado Crewcab.

 

After a long talk I asked her what Chevy is going to unveil at the show in January? She said she did not know.

 

Ford is going to show off it's newly designed 09 F 150 with new engine, interior and 6 speed tranny.

 

She agreed it would be bad that Chevy had nothing to show and had no idea what they have planned. She also said the number one complaint about the 07 silverado 1500 is no 6.5' bed followed by no 6 speed tranny.

 

She said the complaints is how they decide on what to fix or add to the new vehicles so hopefully enough people have complained about the short beds on the CC's and a change is in store for the mid year 08's.

 

I really like the CrewCab allot but the smaller bed killed any thought of me purchasing the truck.

 

Does anyone know what Chevy has planned for the Auto Show? Do they show up at all and if they do, with what?

 

Sorry I meant the 08 Auto show.

I can't wait to see the new Ford. But Chevy needs the 6 speed trans bad.

Hell yeah they do, I'd buy one in a hurry.

I can't wait to see the new Ford. But Wingnut needs the 6 speed trans in his SS bad.

 

Fixed that for you.

Good update

 

Traditionally manual trans trucks do not come close in sales numbers to automatics.
