08' Silverado Pics

For those of you whom may have seen the 2 pics of the new Silverado Crew all I can say is:

This truck (?) looks like a Tonka Toy. It's an "affront to the truck world" to call this unit a truck. If GM is pinning their future on the 900 platfrom truck those GM shareholders are in for the SCREWIN' of a lifetime.

It’s like a Nissan Titan and Chevy Colorado mix.

Chevy Colorado exactly. I think Ford has NOTHING to worry about if this is the best thing GM has to offer in the pickup world. Man, is that a terrible looking truck or what?

I cant put my finger on it, it looks kinda out of proportion, and I am sure they will mess up the interior too

much better than the current offering from GM, but the cab looks overly tall compared to the bed sides....

I think they should do everyone a favor and stop calling them trucks. They should just call it a crew cab camino. It seems to me that their trucks are getting lower everytime i look at them. Can you imagine pulling up to a construction zone in that truck ready for work (haha).
