Really Where did you get that from?


I thought I would really like it. Maybe I'll get used to it but it looks too much like a toyota or something.

Found it on the web site of the local paper here in Detroit

1500 Z71

Side panels look like the Colorado-ish. Roof rack.

:nutkick: Doesn't even look like a full size truck.

All I can say is -:t

meh...its alright. I have to say it IS better than I thought it would be from what we've seen in camo...I dont like how the side looks like a Colorado. Otherwise its alright, I think it would look better with that black lower bumper cover painted the body color, and I think it'd look better with a bug deflector to smooth out the flat square frontal area....I think the RED color makes it look a little stupid too...

then again I hated the GMT-800's when they first came out too, and I hated the first pictures I saw of the new Tahoes...but I love both of them now :confuzeld:

I bet the new Silverado will grow on us...

I found these at GM-Truck.com:

:exactly:

Paulie K from GM-Truck.com did a quickie photochop on the front end on this one and looks much better than the black lower portion.

Looks like crap.

Way too many bulges on the front and rear fenders.

The door frame around the upper part of the window is too fat.

The painted ends of the front bumper look like a add on after thought.

Looks like a 2" tailpipe.

Looks like the hood is open.

Well atleast the rims and tailgate look alright.

DD

.

On edit: Paulie K's version of the front bumper look's much better.

.

#1. All the more reason to stay with a GMC....:D
#2. The tailpipe DOES look like its 2" big, if that. Not impressed.
#3. Red just dosent do it for these new GM trucks. But thats just my opinion.
#4. Why have running boards at all? It dosent seem to sit more than 2" off the ground anyways.

Why is it, that GM 4 wheel drive trucks are sitting lower and lower every year they redisign? -:t

They're forcing us to stay with a 3/4 and 1 ton just for ground clearance.

The pre 99's sat much higher, or at least it seemed it to me, than the 99's and newer half tons.


Bottom line: I hope the GMC version dosent look like a friggen Canyon.-:t

-:t all i say is im glad i got my 06
it MIGHT look almost 1/4 way decent if it was in a dually 3500 but looks like thay are kinda riping off the 07 fords-:t

GM should fire their design team immediately. That's just sad. I know I said it would look like the Tahoe front end, but what's up with the chrome/black bumper and grill? Looks like it should have a wide racing stripe down the hood...not to mention the silly luggage bars! Looks like a cross between a sportside and a fleetside, too...guess someone couldn't make up their mind.

BTW, I just noticed...they must be dealing with the overheat problem by running the trucks with the hoods cracked open (on the safety latch) now......

Hey unit 453, what if the running boards were a little bigger and combine that with the stupid roof rack bars you could have a SWAT unit. Its a truck. What is with the roof bars? This thing looks like 4 different vehicles.(Titan, Pathfinder roof rack, Canyon) and I don't know what else.-:t -:t -:t -:t
Can't anyone design anything new that doesn't look generic.
Greg

ya it does look like they were tring to blind to many things in but hey maybe the HD will be different

The fenders kinda flair out just like the new Dodges....

God, I just compared a Chevy to a friggen Dodge.

WTF 'am I thinking?

Someone punch me square in the rubber eye.

What a big disappointment !!!!-:t -:t And i was waiting to buy an 07 . Here i come 06

Well I did like how they incorporated the back up sensors into the rear bumper.

Obviously, they are not considering that these trucks go off road with all that plastic on the front end. Needs some work.

Perhaps this is the car industry's way of forcing us to consume less oil??? (That is by designing vehicles so bad that no one would be caught dead in one ):h)

:lol:

Hopefully that is just someones photoshop version of what they think it will look like and not the real thing, lol... Hope the HD will have some difference to them so they 3/4 dong look like a 1/2 ton

That red thing looks too much like a Jap truck from the side. Doesn't even really look fullsize. But if it's actually the new 1500, then GM might be doing what Ford does.....have a light-duty body style and another for the HD 2500-3500 trucks. I was told the new Chev. HD trucks will have essentially the same front as the new Tahoe, which is bigger and supposedly more powerful looking. Makes sense, because the new 1500's are out in September but the new model 2500-3500 won't be available until March of next year. But this is all just speculation. Even so, the new '07 diesels will be loaded down with emissions crap.

Highly doubt it... :eek:

-:t -:t

:funnypost :exactly: nuff said, looks very weak. Glad I got my '06.

I sure hope that is a photochop!! If not heads should roll, that thing is just plan ugly!!! I guess a soccer Mom might find it appealing?? I hope the HD looks better, I am happy with the looks of my 06 and plan on keeping it until the end of it's life anyways, but for the sake of GM I hope they hit a homerun with the new HD!!! If it looks anything like that 1500 they are going to be in trouble I'm afraid!!

Makes me consider buying used Duramax. At least in a couple of years after the duct tape no longer holds the wheels on.

The more I look at it I am thinking this might be a photochop!!! If you look around the badges it appears to be real grainy, typical of a photochop???

Look at the way the hood lines up with the front grill and the fenders. I hope the hood latch was only released. If thats the way its suppose to be, nice tolerances.-:t

The article did say that the hood wasn't fully closed....... ;)

It looks like someone took a Colorado and photoshoped it to a Silverado.

another plus- locking tailgate

I wonder how many gazillion dollars it will cost to replace that kludged-up front end with the front clip off a Tahoe (preferably the more aerodynamic Tahoe hybrid)?

What happened to making the GMT900s more aerodynamic? It looks like they used up all the available wind tunnel time on the SUVs. I guess they saw how awful the new style F-250SD looks and figured they only had a new (lower) bar to meet.

I usually refrain from this, but in this case I'll make an exception:
-:t -:t -:t -:t -:t -:t -:t -:t -:t -:t -:t -:t

It looks like somebody left a 2' piece of a 2x6 or 2x8 on the plug used to make the stamping dies for those front fenders!

look it has dodge taillights!! :Insane: that things flat ugly..

WOW. Am I glad that I bought a 06.
I definately don't care for the roof rack on the top. Trucks don't have roof racks, they have ladder racks..
I have to agree with TheBac, time to fire the design crew of the marketing idiot that thinks this truck looks good. Just goes to show you where this country is headed. The best automaket can't even make a good looking truck.

That is just wrong! It looks like a titan to me!-:t -:t

Rick

Omg That Is The Most Ugly Fullsize Truck Ive Ever Seen Im Fixin To Dislike Gm For Even Thinkin Of Puting Such A Thing On The Market In Place Of How They Are Now!!!!

I got tired of waiting for the 2007, so when I saw the LBZ and the Allison 1000 on the 2006+, I bought one. Now that I see the 2007, I'm very glad I bought the 2006+.

Damn, I love this truck.

Steve

Even so, the new '07 diesels will be loaded down with emissions crap.

emmissions diesels will not come out until the new (new?) body body style. Early 2007 Silverado Classics will still have the LBZ in current form. This is to give gas stations a chance to swithc over to ULSD. They ahve to makesure ULSD is everywhere BEFORE they release a emmissions junk engine because the emmissions junk engines will NOT be able to run on standard diesel.

So our trucks will be ok with this new stuff?

So our trucks will be ok with this new stuff?

yes.

cant say I like it, but im not going to shut the door on it.

I hated the -800's when they came out, and so did a TON of other people. I hated the 2003 trucks when they came out....and then I hated the 2005 HD front end when it came out!

guess what? I love them all now! ;)

lets give the 2007 Silverado a fair chance guys....

And no need for additives right?


On a side note Ben........


The GMC side is calling YOUR name.

well it looks ugly, but it seems they are offering more options that we've been looking for.

ie:locking tailgate, back up sensors

we can only hope for an under hood light

Looks like the front will allow more air through it .

Nice photoshop.
The off center bowtie emblem on the tailgate is a nice touch though.

i like the that they didnt even shut the hood all the way

Looks better than some of the new cars on the market. At least the rear windows are not squeezed down to nothing and it's butt isn't sticking way up in the air like it's in heat or something.

Yeah, thats not quite what I had in mind, so now I'm hoping the GMC looks better. Too much Colorado blood in that truck!

Glad I have an 06 already, and 07 Classic on the way. :ro)

Well.... If the D Max has the same front end your going to have to take a Sawzall to it or it will be Overheating All Over Again....:eek:

Why Can't they open up the frontend and Get Some Air to that engine... ????? I Thinks it's about time GM Built something that Worked. :)

With the bulging fenders and the flat door panels, it looks like something you would find in the toys isle at K-Mart. Are you sure the manufacturer plate doesn't say TONKA?

I agree with TheBac - GM should fire their styling staff and start over again. :exactly:

The sad thing is that on top of being "CHEAP" looking, with all the new emissions crap and the "feel-good" junk to satisfy the soccer moms, prices are bound to go through the roof. - Heck maybe that's the reason for the roof rack, to hold the oversize price sticker.-:t

guys, that is not a photoshop, it is the real thing. that picture was taken by a respected automotive photojournalist. He regularly has his spy pictures published. He has commented on them over at gminsidenews.com. (btw, those are copyrighted pictures, you shouldn't post them).
The hood was open, relax.

All in all I agree with Ben, you won't be able to pass judgement on them until you see them in person. My guess is that in 5 years 75% of you will be driving one. People said the samething with the GMT800s and look where we are now.

I heard that the "07" may have some resemblance to the Colorado by one of the members here on the Diesel Place and boy am I glad I bought an "06" plus I do not have all the smog add on's that I here they will have......Pat............:eek:

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-12/1119749/07silverado4xe.jpg


That one is a photochop, sorry but the first one isn't.

Much better!!!!!!!!

Let's see if GM fails us or not.

That one is a photochop, sorry but the first one isn't.

It may be, but do you really think that the new HD Silverado's are going to look like that "mini-me" red thing...you better hope not.-:t

yeah, actually I think they will be closer to the red one. The pic you posted is the tahoe front end. Of course the HD will be closer to the 1500 than the tahoe. The bed will be different, the red one has a shorter bed like the crew cab 1500s do today. We will see, but I still say most everyone complaining will be driving one in 5 years.

glad im getting an 06

The pics of the red truck immediately brought "Nissan Titan" to my mind. Not really my taste (exaggerated fenders flairs).

Odd to note, though, that there's this "titan" version and the Avalanche version. Where the Avalanche looks like a converted Tahoe; these latest picts look altogether different. Maybe the fender flairs are part of the Z71 package?

I'll be interested to see the '07 - ('07.5?) - HD version. Also want to see GMC's take

I like my '06 GMC LBZ though... I'm becoming attached :)

The more I look at it, the more its growing on me. I do like the frontend, I dont like the fender bulges. I have some hope for the 2500HD. This angle makes the truck look alot better
http://www.autospies.com/images/uploads/large/SP32-20060612-110244.jpg

The red one is pretty bad, but i do like the fuel door at the rear on the other. Can we say photoshop?

I thought I heard somewhere that the Z71 package was gonna sit higher up than the previous models and be more offroad orientated. All I see is another offroad sticker package. The front air dam is almost scraping the ground on a city street. It's sad that when you buy the Z71 package, you have to worry about rippin your front end off in the mall parking lot. Wake up GM!!!!!!!!:exactly:

this is the 1500 version so the 2500 and 3500s could look totally different.

this is the 1500 version so the 2500 and 3500s could look totally different.
Could is a big word. I certainly hope they look different, but if I know GM, it's gonna be the same old routine......... Pay $45K for the truck Monday. Tuesday crank the tbars. Wednesday different shocks. Thursday put bigger tires than the pizza cutters. Friday have a Dodge 2500 stock and a F@rd F250 all stock park next you at the mall and make your truck still look like it's a dwarf, despite your on goin efforts to make your 4x4 sit like one......

yeah, definetely sign me up for an 06 and DOWN!!

I don't like the look of the bed/back window. It look like the bed sides are low or the back window is HUGE. I myself do not like big back windows at all, they let too much light in. The bulges in the finders just make it look like a nissian to me. Well I may be done again with these trucks for a years. Hopefully my 06 will hold its resale good, that I was I hope for. With the 07 emissons and the new style.

I've carefully looked at all the spy photos I have of the GMC 1500, GMC 2500, and Chevy 3500, and they all appear to have the same fender bulges under the camo. Maybe the GMCs have less pronounced bulges, but more likely they are the same as the Chevy. Look at the spy photos (below) of a GMC 2500HD seen from the rear, looking at a shallow angle, at the left side front fender. Notice how the camo cover at the top rear of the fender doesn't conform to the fender... evidently because the bulge underneath is too pronounced. It looks the same as spy photos of the Chevy 1500s taken from the same angle. The odd thing is that the bulge on the rear seems barely visible under the camo.

Also, Car & Driver has short article about the new uncovered photos, and the mention that the sheet metal for Chevy & GMC will be the same (no surprise there).

The important thing now is to find out what the correct order cut-off date is for all three body styles of the 2007 "Classic" HDs.

its birth controll! youll never get laid driving it!! or its gm's plan to sell there 06 trucks....

I don't think it is that bad I think its better than the angry china man look, but just wait I bet they really ruin the GMCs.

The more I look at it, the more its growing on me. I do like the frontend, I dont like the fender bulges. I have some hope for the 2500HD. This angle makes the truck look alot better
http://www.autospies.com/images/uploads/large/SP32-20060612-110244.jpg




You know what i think it is....I think the lights are too small, honestly if they were bigger, liker earlier years i dont think it would look half bad...But then again 96-98 and 01-02 is my favorite years body style...

Hey where's the PIC OF THE GMC:confused:

better watch out for speed bumps with that front bumper....

Hey where's the PIC OF THE GMC:confused:

Dun Dun Dun

Well that is very disappointing, I was hoping to get in on the early 07 GMC's before they went to the new emission standards. If the new 07 GMC's look anything close to these trucks then I'm probably going to wait and get one of the new 6.7 liter Dodges. Yes I said it, they are driving me to a friggin Dodge!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I thought the Chevy's and the GMC's were going to be totally different from each other, guess not:rolleyes:

lol thats a photoshop

-:t x2

Yep, that's what i'm thinkin.:D

nice GMC photoshop!

The HDs will be different. You'll just have to guess at how much!

Even as a major GM enthusiast, it takes me seeing them on the road and in person to do it justice and start to really like a new product. These photos (while accurate spy photos) just don't do it justice. I agree that you all will be driving them in a couple years time and won't give it a second thought.

Just remember you are seeing a 1500 crew, which has the short/short box. Makes things look a bit unproportional.

That makes me glad I got my 06 4x4 Crew.... of course it doesn't compare with my dmax...

Well I may have an overheater, But it looks good do'in it!!! This new truck looks terrible.....

It is different, GM got criticized because the GMT-800 was not different enough....so now they make sure that the new model is different from the current model....and holy crap, everyone is panicking!

I think it is ok, I like my '06. But I am sure I will be in line early for one the 900 HD's.

Photo looks real and im sure it is.

It will grow on you, I hated the 2003+ HD trucks, and now I think they are awesome looking.

quit bashing our brand, they are innovating, nobody likes change, but change is innevitable.

:)

-:t

Glad I bought an '06. I cant believe GM is following the D*dge looks.

-:t

lol thats a photoshop

WRONG..





















Its a paintshop...):h :muahaha:

Here is a chop done by someone on GMI, it's not the best chop but gives you an idea what it would look like lifted and black. Not bad!

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d83/PerformanceWest/07Silverado.jpg

It feels like the 80's

Ugly trucks and too many regs on them

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d83/PerformanceWest/07Silverado.jpg
Now that's what I'm talkin about. Maybe this "truck" isn't so bad after all..........:confused:

Now that looks nice.....

I would definately drive that...However, I'd need something a bit stronger than that 5.3.

I agree now that it's tweaked, but the original picture was also making me want to -:t

5.3's aren't to to bad when they are warmed up a bit.

I know. They're not bad. In fact, I have commented to several people how zippy our fleet Tahoes are. DuratotheMax even thought so. They really feel strong in the upper range.

Anyways, I'd still like to see a GMC version of that. Then I'd really be interested.

I dont care what anyone says. I'm still partial to GMC's.

Damn, in black and lifted it looks ****ing GOOD!

You say the new Chevy is Ugly then say you're going to buy a dodge? What's up with that? Not only is it Ugly, IT's a BIG PEICE of JUNK!

Well Gentelmen, I just happened to meet one of the "designers" of the 900 series this evening. I made mention of the discussion we are having here, and he was superised to say the least. He assured me the interior was a total redesign and the 2500 and the 3500 would more "manly" (his words not mine). I do have to admit I'm always on the fence about the new models and they always seem to grow on me.

This may be slightly off topic, but I having been testing in the Death Valley area this past week (near Stovepipe Wells and Daylight pass, west of Beatty, NV). There were at least 3 cloaked (GM) 3/4 and 1 ton trucks running up and down these grades. In addition, I was down near Davis Dam today and saw the same group of trucks. This group of trucks is currently staying at the Las Vegas Hilton, parked in the lot in front of the Hilton Resort. The cloaked trucks are all tarped for the night and there is a support truck with a fuel tank in the bed that reads "Ultra Low Diesel Fuel Only"...

Goldsburg...Out!:grd:

From the rear it looks sort of ike a Nisson.

Just saw it in today's USA Today paper. Well, I hope the truck looks bigger in person. Seems like it was downsize in the picture. Will GM come out with something that will compete against the Dodge Mega Cab?

Did you at least give him the web address?

At least then we can argue who can take credit for which suggestion.


.....No, seriously, they need to know about some of the modifications that are suggested.

PS. I love scotch too.

Hmmm, testing for OH's.... interesting.

I didn't like it either, the lifted black version looked much better. GM sure could do a little more cosmetically and especially with the ride height, they are way too low, imo.

Looks way to similar to the 1/2 ton front end.

Looks MUCH better when not covered in "brochure red" ...

As for a large difference b/w the 1/2 tons and the HD's....I'd like to see that! We don't have a difference NOW do we? What, a 2" body lift, black plastic spacer panel (gmc) on the front bumper, and roof markers? I am hoping they look at F**D and see that HD series should be a larger body than that of a 1/2 ton.

let's take it easy here fellers. le:ro) t's get a couple more of you guys doing some photo shop to see what they could look like before ya start judging. i just took buddies truck to the tire shop and had them put 20's on with the leveling kit, and still don't think the truck looks all that good. sticking with my gmc.

a statement made earlier that i would have to agree with, after many dollars and efforts on our parts, our trucks still look like a mini me truck sitting next to some dodges and fords stock. gm, make our trucks look manly!!

Looks like a cross between an Explorer Sport Trac-:t and a Colorado...

We'll have to wait and see what the HD looks like

that looks like a Colorado on Steroids...

I'm keeping the 04.

hopefully i dont throw up in my mouth when i see the hd!!

definately glad i bought an 06 lbz instead of this butt ugly 07....holy crap is every one going japanese,i think theyre going japanese i really think soooo....LOL

I'm going to have to jump on the band wagon, that thing is ugly:badidea:

I'm also keeping my 04.

Sure glad I bought a 2006 Chevy. That truck is uuuuugggggllllllyyyyy.

Well I'm glad I didn't wait around for an '07 now! I thought the front end would look just like the Tahoe! (The all plastic look.) I think this will make the value of the older trucks hold up well! It looks fine, but really no big difference! If someone didn't know, you could tell them the '06 was the newer styling of the two trucks. I like them both!

I guess why change a popular style too much and rock the boat!

looks like S**T Why doesnt chevy learn to make a truck look like a truck anymore ????

looks like S**T Why doesnt chevy learn to make a truck look like a truck anymore ????

They havent yet. Thats why us cool kids bought GMC's.

here we go again....popcorn anyone?

here we go again....popcorn anyone?


Again, and again and again......It does get funny though.

You cant make me stop.

The only thing I really don't like about this truck, and it is the same thing I don't like about the Cadillac Escalades and new GMC Yukons. The front end with those stacked headlights look like the Family Truckster in National Lampoon Summer Vacation!

Ya, well the 06's aren't anything to write home about either. Have you seen some of the Pontiac vans etc, truly the most foul looking vehicles I've ever seen.

All I can say is -:t

I AGREE.............-:t -:t -:t -:t -:t

Its uglier than a sack of dCensored cks -:t

i dont care how pretty the fords and dodges are..pretty aint gonna get the job done!!

i dont care how pretty the fords and dodges are..pretty aint gonna get the job done!!
True...true....... But pretty sells, FUGLY don't. I'm,at the very least,dissappointed in the new look......-:t

I have heard some say it looks like a Nissan Titan. After a good look at the two, I agree. I hope the HD looks more like a truck.:(

this is no photo crop just looked a dozen the same just different colours they are still in a non saleable producion

Just give it a year and everyone will think it fine. When Chevy put the new front end on in 03 I could not stand it, but it is not so bad now, even nice from some angles. It just takes time to get used to something new.

i agree with joeycoates...when i bought my o4 i did not like the front end..it looked like sh*t but now i like it!!!!!

thats just a half ton. the 2500 HD will probably look different.

It looks like the old W/Ts with the headlights that way. -:t

Let's not jump to conclusions, No matter what, with some big meets, big exhaust and a warmed up diesel in there. You know it will grow on us. Let's wait to see it in person before we start talking Furds and Blowpars.


I will say at least GM made the Camaro likable from the start. I'm seriously thinking of one of them before I trade out of my Truck anyway! Hmmm maybe the 2014 body style will get it right! It may be a retro 1985 body style! :rolleyes:

What GM needs to do is take the front end of the new tahoe, put it on the truck, change the interior features/configuration some, and come out with a new set of good looking stock wheels. That would be a good looking truck IMO. I think the new tahoes look pretty sweet

Hmmm maybe the 2014 body style will get it right! It may be a retro 1985 body style! :rolleyes:

We can only hope.. she's served me well.. http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/images/smilies/highfive.gif

yeah, actually I think they will be closer to the red one. The pic you posted is the tahoe front end. Of course the HD will be closer to the 1500 than the tahoe. The bed will be different, the red one has a shorter bed like the crew cab 1500s do today. We will see, but I still say most everyone complaining will be driving one in 5 years.

No, I think Toyota will have a diesel by the and I'll be driving one of those.

Let's see, I will drive a Vette, a GM van, truck or Suburban, (but not an Avalanche) or maybe one of the Caddys when I'm a little older. That is about it, their designers suck. They are getting farther & farther away from trucks and closer & closer to big cars with open trunks. Soccer moms rejoice, it is going to have back up sensors! Give me an F-ing break it is a truck.

Long live the 01's. dave

There's no Toyota in my future. If the new HD's are as ugly as the pix, I'll just keep my 04. I'll drive it till the day I die before I'll drive a Jap truck or a mexican Dodge.

Amen to that!

It's about time some else sees things the way I do. I would rather be burned alive that drive a JAP rig......

So why you driveing a GM product. It has tons of Jap parts! You can not purchase any vehicale today new with out Jap parts. Even the Harley uses a starter made by a Jap company since 1990. May of your parts labled AC Delco are made by Jap companies.

Who do you think helped GM in the design and manufacture of the Duramax? Isuzu a Jap company, in fact the plant Duramax LTD is a Joint venture.

There are some Toyotas and Hondas that are only made here in the USA and exported to Japan.

Maybe it's our own way of having a victory garden. I'm aware that a considerable part of our trucks is made overseas, but at the end of the day it's just principle.

the head lights are not split in half

Makes me love my truck that much more. And some say the '03 up are ugly!

I think there's going to be a business in aftermarket redesigned bodies......

Hey people, the pictured truck is a ½ ton. Only ½ tons are Z71.
The 2500 HD, and the 3500 new models don’t launch until 2 Qtr. of 2007.
I just ordered a 2007 3500, and the dealer said the same thing. My truck will look like the 2006.
My employer supplies GM the drive train for their trucks, and my plant is supplier for the rear axles on the 2500 HD and 3500 SWR, and DWR. So there is still time to get the old body style in a 2007.

I have a friend who is the GM at the local dealership. What GM is doing for 07 is offering the trucks in "NEW" body style, or the "Classic" style. I think I will stick with the classic style thank you. Same thing they did with the Caprice, and Malibu. I grew up driving a Caprice Classic.:eek:

-:t That new style makes me want to convert my 02 to diesel.:rant:

I think it has the same bump outs over the wheels. The roof rack and the stacked lights a don't like. It is a chevy though, I would rather drive one before I drove anything else.
:help:

You mean Impala? Caprice/Impala...These new ones are not "real" Impalas in my opinion....

Front wheel drive or not, at least they've got an optional V8...

Looks like a Toyota or Nissan with a Bow Tie on it.

Truck on!!!:cool:

Beauty Is Skin Deep & Ugliness Runs All The Way To The Bone!!! Enough Said!!

The pictue looks like a 1/2 ton rearend under it . Thats one ugly truck!

I'm probably gonna get flamed for saying this but I actually kinda like it. Now, I would like to know what the front suspension on the 4WD HDs will be on the GMT900 platform.

definately glad i bought an 06 lbz instead of this butt ugly 07....holy crap is every one going japanese,i think theyre going japanese i really think soooo....LOL

I think this is a true statement. ( outlander ) you are the first one to call it the way it is. This may be my last GM truck also.
If I wanted a "toy" truck I would not have picked a silverado in the first place.

Every comment here is the same as was said about the 03 when it was first exposed. How things never seem to change when a change is coming.

I want to know about the stuff that is important, like engine and drive line. Looks are in the eyes of the beholder. How does it perform and how much power and torque. Beauty is for those that never work a truck. Those of us that do real work put a lot less emphasis on the body style.

it looks very feminine! wimpy looking!!

let the truck be unveiled and give it a couple of months and 99 percent of you boys will be loving on this new truck. in all honestly, the heavy duty's ain't even out yet and quite a few of you are talking about never driving a chevy/gmc again. almost sounds like a discussion with my wife. even the hint of change and she's in a hysterical rage of fits. Like i stated earlier, throw a lift or some rims and personal touch and i'll bet ya this truck looks very good. jmo

I didn't read every page...there are 16, I dont have the time, but I don't think anyone noticed that this the is 2008, yes 08, concept, not the 2007. If anyone's paid a visit to their local Chevy dealer like I have, as I'm tryin to replace my 02 Chevy CC/SB 2500HD 6.0, you may have seen the brochures for the 2007, and guess what, it's the same as the 2006. No one get your panties in a bunch, we still got another year before it's that ugly.

I for one do understand how the system works, GM lets these photo ops out there for the public to bite onto so they can get the feedback before the design is set in stone. Now if they did not want them seen lets face it they could have done a better job of hiding them. So that way if the talk is all negetive they can make some changes before they hit the factory production line. Now with that out in the open, I will express my opinion loudly so they can hear it. I will not just sit back and like what they think I should like. In my opinion the truck shown is not heavy enough to handle my needs. It does not belong in the Silverado class, as it is smaller then our Silverados that we now have and I feel that there is already a line of small trucks for people that do not handle heavy loads. Just look at what they are telling us about the ford 150, they say it will haul just about the same weight as our 3500's. But I would not trade my dually in for one. So keep the information flowing and if this new silverado is not better then what we have now they will hear about it.
Oh sorry I got off subject here, as this is the LBZ forum. So with that said I hope we can keep the 360 HP that we now have, and they do not try to bring back that outstanding 5.7 diesel once more.

I know that GM will never make a truck that would be total eye candy to me, but i dont feel that they have ever made anything that was butt ugly. It would be nice if in the future the trucks had a bigger cab and more pay load capacity, atleast enough to make Ford and Dodge think twice, but you'll never satisfiy everybody at the same time with the same thing.:ro)

First half of 2007 Silverados will be "Classics"
http://podcasts.autoblog.com/2006/04/27/first-half-of-2007-silverados-will-be-classics/

I would like to see what the new body style looks like on the dually's.

I saw the pics at edmonds.com, unimpressed. Looks like a Nissan Titan to me. No thanks.

Got to say :badidea: -:t

Looks fine to me!

They look freakin awesome to Me!!I Just Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me repeat that again. I love it:ro)

looks like a Nissan, I can't see that pulling my trailer. Might look good hauling a bed full of flowers.-:t

I see a lot of similarities to the F150. I also think it looks a lot nicer than the new 2007 Silverado.

I think it will grow on me, but I am not giving up my 03 any time soon.

Jon

I like the GMC a whole lot better. I love the open grill like that. I probably will get one when they come out.
Bryan

That looks like dogass. It won't be hard for me to buy a F250 in 07.

Lets wait and see till they come out.

Anyone else have a feeling they will have problems with thier new DICs and "Limping" ):h

Personally they dont do it for me...FUGLY! I'm happy with my 06...looks more agressive then the new ones!

Looks like the hood fits nice. They probably saved $2.50 per truck on hood supports. I also see they STILL have no where to mount a front license plate. Am I the only one that thinks GM did a lousy job on the mounting arrangment on earlier models. -:t

See ya on the other side GM!

GM really needs to hire some new designers. I hope that this will grow on me but man o man. I think pretty much everything GM puts out is ugly. I am a GM guy through and through but look at like Chrysler, where everything pretty much looks good. I like GMs engines and drivetrain but everything is so damn unly. GM needs to hire some of Chryslers designers.

the black one looked pretty kick ace but god that red truck makes a guy consider a ford or a dodge -:t looks like ill be drivin my 04 for a while :ro)

My thoughts exactly!!!! ;)

Looks like we all lucked out when we got our 06's. Seems like we're gonna have to skip the 2007 year... possibly the entire 900 series :rolleyes:
