Looks like they stuck the front end of the Honda Ridgeline onto that "thang".
I seriously looked at the 2002 Chev truck (when new). Too much money for what they were offering. The salesman told me that IF I wanted a truck (Chev) that RIGHT THEN was the time to buy. Was he ever right!?!?!? The newer Chevs are sooooooooooooooooooooooo U G L Y, it is crazy.
Is it just me? What happened to STYLING? (I'll be equal opportunity here. . . . even the last generation Ford trucks looked a LOT better than what's out here, now.)
Sorry. I just don't like 'change'. (I still like the '56 & '57 F-100!)

The 32% of the full-size SUV market GM doesn't already sell to. 
GM's market share went from 53 to 68% with that 2000 bodystyle. Say what you want, they called that market dead to rights. The new products pretty strong- Escalade's pumping something like 420HP, the Tahoe has DOD for the best-in-class gas mileage. Rear Cameras, Satellite Nav and Radio, power boards, yada yada. All the tricks and whistles this affluent soccer mom market wants- let's not forget who the real buyer is here.
Edit: The Chevy guy's only gripe is that it looks too much like an Expedition.

Nope, computers are wonderful. My Vette is almost 11:1 but I do need to run 91+. The Mustang GT is 9.8:1 and runs on 87 Octane.

P.S. I think there are ugly too, the Yukon that is.
