2007 Chevy Tahoe

Do these quarter panels look like the old Expedition or what?

Here's a video preview.

Horsepower offerings from 280-400 , with DOD (displacement-on-demand)
4 and 6-speed Automatics
Standard Stabilitrak, available Autoride now has real-time damping adjustment
Available Rear Park Assist and Camera View

Sure does look like an Expy outside, especially from the rear. Interior is a quantum leap from the prior (current) model.

So where's the diesel, GM???

If they can make an engine that shuts off 4 cylinders, why not just get Isuzu to bust off an I4 diesel for the friggin' SUVs already???

I did see the pic with the beancounter showing off the Tahoe. So what? I don't want to see more SUVs with high-revving gassers.

GM may as well bury themselves already, for cryin' out loud. Keep selling more of what the public is NOT buying, and Toyota will take their spot.

Market a v8 gasser SUV listing at 20.1mpg. City or highway, who cares, that's really not enough for my taste, and others for sure.

35-51 big bones should get technology that is waaaaay more top-of-the line than that.

The D-Max is supposed to show up on the Suburban, but market-wise I doubt it's a big deal. GM has 60% of the full-size SUV market- it's something they understand pretty well.

I agree with Polarbear. GM dominates the full size SUV market and the typical user of their product does not need a diesel (or even a SUV). They are used for short trips to school or the grocery and they seldom tow anything or travel a lot of miles. Even if they put diesels in their SUVs, many of the sales would be at the expense of diesel crew cab GM trucks.
