Ugh...Leave it to GM to screw with the appeal. When is GM going to start designing vehicles that don't look like something that just died?

If GM wants to work at getting in better fiscal shape...shouldn't they be producing vehicles with appeal...I mean, who thinks this thing looks good?

Same with the Suburban...

One rock chip on those HUGE headlights...and there goes 600 bucks...they are very large

 

I seen the comercial for the 2007 Taho this weekend and I thought what an Ugly peice of poop. We have an 06 GMC Yukon at work and I personaly thinks its a good lookin suv but these new ones are terrible, hopefully they look better in real life!!

 

Saw a new Tahoe at the San Jose Auto Show this past weekend, I think it looks really good in person.

 

i like the tahoe/suburban but hate the new GMC from that pic.

 

We finally get the better looking vehicle.

Nick, don't kid yourself- there's 500,000 vehicle volume built into those triplets (Chevy/GMC/Cadillac).

 

I don't think they look so bad, and the interior pictures I've seen look lots better (one of my biggest gripes with the previous generations). Plus, I hear they've finally fixed that horrible spongy brake pedal. That was a long time coming...

 

Anyone wanna guess why there isn't a radio antenna on the new suburban clones?

Improved mpg!

I read this in a article a while back.

Man we are getting desperate now!

 

Anybody wanna guess why an Expedition doesn't have one either? Too bad too- radio reception was my biggest gripe on our '03 Expy.

 

The first car I had with the radio antenna hidden in the glass was a 73 Impala. Radio didn't pick up very well at all. I currently have a Town Car with the antenna hidden in the glass (Chevy in the WS and Lincoln in the back glass). 25 years and they still haven't figured out it doesn't work very well. If you can't see an external antenna, plan on CDs.

 

Our mobile radio folks will install a nice rear mounted power unit for about $150- well spent, if you listen to the radio, travel, or have hills to deal with. Actually, the insurance companies are all over this one- they don't like mast antennas.

 

I must say the GMC is UGLY but the chevy version is appealing. If I had $40k to drop on a vehicle like that, that would win out over the Expedition in my book. My problem with Ford is too many cars ans trucks look like eachother. The F-150, Freestyle, Explorer, Expedition, and to some extent the Ranger all have the basic nose and body lines.

 

The new Tahoe looks nice, it will continue to slaughter the Expedition in sales and performance.

 

Yet, they are both still losing money???? I just don't understand how we are going to be able to afford cars or trucks if this trend continues. I read an article on the 10 anniv. of the Expy, they test drove a King Ranch, the sticker was $49K!!!!! Heck, even used cars are expensive now, unless they have 150K miles on them. Ok, I am done, I don't like the look of the GMC either.

 

I'm not kidding myself...I know the market for these is huge, and they lead it by quite a fare bit...but the previous exterior design was so much better then this. The cosmetics on these vehicles are too much for me, seems to be the general consensus here too. I don't know if it's me... but the way a vehicle looks is very important to me.
