Chevy Avalanche?

I'm still wondering how they can say a removable back panel makes it an SUV?

Chevy Avalanche?

I am still wondering why anyone would blow their money on a toy for sixteen year old kids that is made of plastic and not designed for off-roading.

It's amazing what can be done with plastic.

I've seen quiet a few around lately, mostly due to the 0% financing.

The Cadillac version is a bit easier on the eyes. I don't think I'd like to make any trips to the lumber yard in freezing weather. Don't think the heater is that good.

Many thoughts go through my head every time I catch sight of one of those monstrosities on the road. First thought: Holy crap! Second thought: Looks like a hippo that overdosed on plastic! Third thought: Somebody actually BOUGHT one of those things! Fourth thought: What WAS Chevy thinking?

well i think the concept is good. too much plastic though. id like to see for do a similar thing but keep the box 6.5ft with option of an eight footer. when the 5.4 ever gets a DOHC and 50 more horse id consider it. when is ford gonna put the dohc in the f50 anyway?

power to the people driving a ford

Not only is the Avalanche's ugliness on par with the Pontiac Aztek, but the commercials for the Avalanche are so f*%#ing stupid that they should be deterrent enough to keep anyone from buying on of those big *** abortions. :-X23

I think the name "avalanche" originated with the avalanche of parts that fell off during testing,how do they expect that platic crap to stay on?and what about when it gets all faded in a few years?What a pile!!!
