That El Camino looks a tad like the Falcon UTE...........Pics Fred???


New Chevy P/K doesn't suck IMO............I do see Titan in the front end.

C'mon photoshop/cut & paste gurus, show the Titan and Chev together.

Are you serious? Is this a joke to get responses? The emblem on the tailgate looks to be cooked. The Z71 on the rear fenders is crooked. The mirrors, roof rack, fenders, and tail lights do not look like Chevy. The wheels are nice though. It does to me certainly look like someone with good computer skills that has pix's of the Titan, Honda's thing and well, a great imagination.....

It's funny. I checked out a GM forum site yesterday about this new Silverado. Almost everyone that commented stated it was ugly and that the General really dropped the ball on this one. But when you looked at their poll on whether they liked it or not, 75% said they loved or liked it. I find this odd that people would stress in writing that it was a horrible design but would state they loved it in a poll. Then again I guess this could happen with any poll completed by GM fans.

Probably because it takes 2 seconds to click a button, to actually voice an opinion would take some more effort. Chevy pride..
