An improvement over the current version, but not as nice as the current GMC. Still doesn't give Ford or Dodge any competition in the looks department in my opinion.

Damn, you beat me to posting this! haha
I'm not gasping for air when looking at it, it's nice but I was expecting some more Cheyenne features. It almost looks like 3 different trucks into one. The truck bed, cab and front, then the front fascia. Is the hood open or is that supposed to be gaped like that? I'll take an F-150 over that anyday, wonder what the sierra looks like?

Hmmm.
Front bumper look of the Nissan Titan, Colorado-esque body lines, and a big bowtie in the middle of the tailgate....where have we seen that idea? Oh yeah.

Sadly, it sucks for me to know what I'm going to be reflashing control modules on in the next several months.

The front end looks better then the last generation Silverado, but the rear end is even worse. From the rear, it looks like a larger Colorado, with the fender flares/bulges way out of proportion. Something just doesn't look right about the rear window and bed together. Now the headlights do look better than the last model, but they're not that great of an improvement. Wonder why Chevy is going with the bigger headlight look when they had the smaller headlight look so long. I like the chrome looking grill & bumper, but why the red bumper ends? Either go chome or paint all the way, this mixture just doesn't look right. Let's hope the hoods popped up, cause otherwise the alignment is really off. The ground clearence looks worse than the last model. Just my 2 cents.
