Looks a bit like a Ford to me.

I like it, then again I'm a Chevy nut. Seems the gauges are chrome trimmed of some sort. I'm just glad the shifter is back on the steering column where it belongs. I'm hating the GM and Ford trucks with them on the centre column.

I like the front end on the new Chevys. If they can keep it from becoming bloated like the new Fords that would be great.

CA55F100, I agree. It looks just like a Ford. The new Tahoe also looks exactly like a Ford from every angle except the front.

I personally don't like the high hip line - low profile roof, great for underground car parks, but doesn't look like a truck.

Little wheels / tires...still.

Is that the fuel filler I see on the passenger side? If it is, that really sucks.

The headlights are a great improvement in styling compared to the last few years. Seeing the new Tahoe in person, I think the trucks are generally an evolution of the last GM style, not a bad thing in my book. Dodge did the same thing, while the last couple of F-150 redesigns were a clean break from the past.

Don't like the way the crossmember hangs low. The front end looks like a fish, and it stinks . The interior looks way to plain with chrome rings. Not a truck for me.

Personally I think the front bumper and grill look a lot like the Super Duties and the headlights have a similar theme. I agree that the high hip line is not a good looking feature on trucks.

The 2007 Chevy front end has too many similarities of the Toyota trucks.

The mirrors are way to plain, and the front bumper take up 1/3 of the front, not good at all.

I think it looks pretty darned GOOD...especially under that cute little tarp thingie. They should have thought of that much sooner.

I drove one yesterday and they are a bunch better looking than the 2006 cat eye crap. If you like the outside looks of the Yukon, you'll like the new Chevy. The interior is still too much GM glitz for me. I prefer the simple gauges not the white faced, overlapping type. While I could comment on the performance, the one I drove had a 345 HP 6.0 in it. Probably not the usual fare for most folks. It will light up the tires though. Seat of the pants testing says the Hemi doesn't stand a chance. Cornering was pretty decent, not much roll, a little busy in a washboard type situation. I think it is a much better truck than the one it's replacing. But, you won't mistake it for another brand, it's still a Chevrolet.

It looks pretty much like new Tahoe/Suburuban.
