Dont to muh like it, then again never been a big Chevy P/U fan. Kinda looks like they stole some ideas from the Titan on the bed.

It's not bad, I would have to see it in person... I really like the current '07 front end, personally. I think the new Avalanche looks pretty sick with it.

I honestly think it will grow on everyone....I have already softened on it from earlier this morning.

Oddly enough, I actually like it. I expected to hate it, which I still did at first glance, but i guess its finally a reality that the crossbar between the headlights is gone. The front looks shaped like the 99-02 silverado's, the way its rounded in the front, but its obviously way different. Not a fan of the wheels, but If I were in the market for a truck, I'd buy one, that or the F-150, nah, Id get the new Silverado. In black too of course.

would you rather it resemble a ***** dodge ram? personally i LOVE boxy trucks, yes it limits the designs a bit but personally trucks look great with hard corners instead of softer ones.
but thats just me.
i like the new chevy front on all there vehicles, but this one i dont like so much. and im just not feeling the rear. im also not a fan of the quad cabs. yeah its cool you can fit a lot of people in a truck but now it just looks like an SUV with a bed.

well as my family found out for the last few years of having a F-150 lariat (quad cab) they are very nice for moving into and out of college dorms. you can fit alot more furniture and boxes in the bed than most suv's, and then still be able to bring the entire family along to help out. that's about one of the few cases where a quad cab is great imo. other than that, yes it is like an suv with a bed on the back.

Also notice how in the Masked version, it doesnt look to have the rear-end flared out.

The flared rear end could be for the quadra-steer?

Looks that way, but GM found out no one wants QS- it is simply too expensive for the small convenience of a couple less turns of the wheel.

That truck loks like complete ass! I seriously doubt that it is a fake, the names on the photos are some of the most respected spy-shooters around. GM dropped the ball on this one. ;crap The Ram continues to be the best looking truck out there IMO.

meh the current body style looks better

This is no longer a option.
Ehh I'll still buy one. I dont know wtf is so great about the Dodge's anyway all it is, is a Box with a rounded Front End, Same with Ford.
Not to mention, Better MPG then Ford/Dodge and cheaper, and more HP then Ford and dodge (except for the over advertised Hemi)
Also notice how in the Masked version, it doesnt look to have the rear-end flared out.
could be the z-71 body styling, they look the same to me. i like them, just with a body matched grille.

I wish it had the black headlight housings like the Tahoe. I bet these are all options though.

I will be very interested to see:
-The Interior
-Other colors
-Different trim levels esp. the 2 door(with the swing out doors) Many trucks with 4 full doors look odd anyway
-HD variants
-Slightly larger wheel/tire package/more agressive off road type(not just bling:))
