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....

That hunk of junk looks like an import. Not much thought went into that wreck.

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).

I'm sure Consumer Reports will love the carlike ground clearance and roof racks.
