2008 Superduty's

Off topic, but related. Anyone seen the new '08 Superduty's? I'm not crazy about that front end at all. It almost looks like a Cheby. I was really thinking about getting a F-350, but I have to see one in person now.

What do you think,

I like it, mainly because of the chrome!

I saw one in person at the Houston auto show, and they looked good to me... nothing like a chevy, just like an updated SD

Flip those headlights, take out the Ford logo and it looks a lot like the new Silverado HD. At least to me. It goes way beyond an updated SD in my opinion.

Still don't see it but that's okay...trucks look's today are all really melding together. Each have parts of the other's design in them. Heck, just look at everybody's tow mirrors ('cept Dodge).

I think I will join the ranks of the "I think it looks like crap" crowd.

Yeah I totally agree, the new Ford Super Duty looks just like the new Chevy HD trucks. They all like to copy one another from time to time, that's for sure. I haven't seen the Chevy in person yet only on 1 tv commercial but they both look OK! I don't know who copied who but the Ford has gotten it's truck out for people to see much sooner! I haven't even seen that ne HD Chevy truck sitting at the local dealer yet??
Here is a link to look at the GMC HD:

I think it looks better everytime i see it. I was at the cleveland auto show and the 450 king ranch was there. It looks good in person to. Im going again tonight to see some more stuff that they have, maybe ill take the digital camera. If i do does anybody want me to post some pictures? Last time i was there (friday) they had a very nice gt40, chillen next to a ferrari.

Ugly? Park your rear end in one of those supple King Ranch leather seats and hook up, oh, say 25,000 lbs to the back of one of those F450s and I'll wager all you nay-sayers would have a smile on your face. I'd even bet you'd be turning your heads back to admire the beauty of the beast every time you walk in to refill your Super Gulp. Ugly? My rear end is ugly but that new SuperDuty is pure automotive genious and just raised the bar for market. That's a beautiful thing.

The New Superduty Looks Great, The Way A Big Truck Should Look. Looks Like It Should Have A 53ft Commercial Trailer Hanging Off The Back Traveling 80mph Up The Highway. I Seen One With The King Ranch Package And Twin Turbo Diesel, Best Truck On The Market. If You Want To Talk Ugly, Look At The New Toyota Tundra Coming Out, And They Call That A Full Size!

Looks great in person. Like the bumper lots better than the new silverado. The HD Silverado looks like it has something growing on the sides of the bumper

My comments really are off the first impression from the commercials and the print ads. I still want to see one in person. That said, I really wish they hadn't inverted the head lights and turn signals.

The dealer near me does a pretty good work truck/commercial sales business and they will have some one the lot real soon I'm sure. I'll take a look then. It will be interesting to see how the work truck-no chrome version is going to look?
