From Car And Driver:

Chevrolet introduced its 2007 Tahoe, Suburban, and Avalanche earlier this year, but the company still hasn’t shown us its latest conventional pickup, the Silverado. Our spy photographers nabbed these shots of the 2007 Silverado while it was being prepped for a commercial. Although its styling isn’t as bold or dramatic as some might have hoped, it’s evocative of the 2003 Chevrolet Cheyenne concept—both have stacked headlights. We don’t know if the Cheyenne’s innovative bed-side access panels, storage drawers, or under-floor bins will make it to production.

The Silverado’s platform-mate, the GMC Sierra, will share most of the sheetmetal seen here but will have its own front-end styling and taillights. Both are based on the GMT900 platform first seen on the 2007 Chevy Tahoe. The platform is a heavily revised (or all-new, depending on which GM flack is spinning it) version of the outgoing SUV and truck platform.

Although the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks were originally scheduled to arrive as 2008 models, GM has been working feverishly to bring them out as 2007s. Our sources indicate that old-style trucks will still be sold as 2007 models, but the new truck seen here will replace them by late fall or winter.

The Chevy Silverado is GM’s bestselling vehicle and the second-bestselling vehicle in the U.S. To say there’s a lot riding on this model is an understatement. The improvements we’ve seen in Chevrolet’s Tahoe, Suburban, and Avalanche bode well for this pickup. We look forward to a comparison test later this year pitting the Silverado against the three-year-old Ford F-150 and redesigned Toyota Tundra.

I like it. I'm sure a version with body colored grill and bumper will be available, and with the new 403 HP 6.2 and 6 speed auto it should move pretty well. The new heavy Escalades do 0-60 in 6.3 seconds and 1/4 miles in the mid 14s with that engine and transmission, a standard cab should be more than a second faster.

One of my other forums...


I am an avid snowmobiler so I live on this site.
Notice even a couple Bow-Tie Blinder guys think this thing is ugly.

Back to the 80's with a new paint job gay look again.

It looks heavy, and the wheels are small

GM needs to fire its executives and slaughter all their designers. What horrible vehicles

looks like a ram, but ugly.

Looks like a bloated colorado. What a shame more ugly gm products...I think they are competing with ford.

If that had a Ram logo on it, that would be one good lookin' truck. The Chevy bowtie makes it ugly. Someone quick photochop a Dodge Ram logo onto it!!

I wouldn't disgrace the ram logo by placing it on thet ugly sucker. When is chevy going to get it. I work at a GM dealership (hey money is great) and I see all of the new GMT900. Interiors are great but they look more like bricks than the out going models.

Looks like a bloated colorado
Exactly what I was thinking. I'm not too big on the Colorado, it doesn't look truck enough. Looks like a little kids play toy.
And this Silverado, well, that would be a super-sized play toy.
Doesn't look tough at all. Oh well, I guess I'm just too used to good looking Chrysler vehicles, not ugly GM and Ford ones.

at least it looks miles better then the new tundra.......i would drive a chevy before i would push a toyota...

lol It doesnt look tough at all like the older ones used to. Oogly in my opinion.

What about in this color?

Wow, way to copy the lettering Dodge puts on the doors...

Agreed! GM is lucky to have Toyota in their to take the cake for the ugliest truck. That does look like a toy. What a joke. I think Chevrolet trucks are getting uglier as time goes on, and that is not saying much about their older ones. Ick!

Wow, tough room. Maybe the name of this forum section should be changed from “Off Brand News” to “Off Brand Bashing”.

the top pick of the reg cab looks good!!!! i like it it. looks better then the current ones out. and like i said before it looks miles better then toyota ugly ass tundra,..yuk!!!!

I actuall like the look of the new tahoe...I thought the new silverado would follow with a similar front end. Gues i was wrong. Ugleeee

What do you expect? They do the same to Dodge on their sights. This is quite typical. That is why I will say "in my very bias opinion."

I think the bed is what makes it really ugly...It kinda looks outta place to me...Like its off another truck.

Not even my paw-paw would touch that thing and he's a GM fanatic...

yall can call me an idiot or whatever but i dont think it looks THAT bad, i almost like it.

looks like a bigger colorodo. i wonder if thats a 4x4 or if the 4x4 will sit a little higher?

Thats the Z71, it is a 4x4. Thats one thing I hate about Silverados, they look so low to the ground and small.

I dont hate it but I prefer the new Ram ... The headlights looks good but the back is ugly

Looks too big and too heavy to me ... In black with more chrome maybe it could help but anyway I still prefer those mid 90's silverado with a 350 :D

At least if they got a good engine maybe the SS will look better

yea i like the new 2008 dodge ram better here is a pic...............or how about the 2009 durango

sounds like they know more about what dodge is about to do than we are. If they are planning on a 403 hp motor, they must already have known that dodge would be planning on putting the 6.1L HEMI in the ram, which is still going to have more horsepower, probably. They need to give up the horsepower war, tho. I've been noticing chevrolet has been trying to catch on dodge for a while in the hp and torque league, but dodge has always been on top in that category, almost no matter what vehicle you compare.

Like muddy blue dodge said...I think its jst looks like a bigger colorado. I dont think its the ugliest thing I have ever seen, but I sure dont like it.

i agree with what somebody said i like the look of the new tahoe and suburban (although i dislike gm i think they did a good job on the exterior and interior on the new suvs) but that thing is ugly...the front bumper looks like a cheap copy of a laramie ram bumper and the bed looks like it came off a nissan titan. i also agree with what was said about it looking like a colorado on roids. i guess beauty is in the eye of the beer holder...something like that...

Read the latest issue of Motortrend? Ding ding ding, not going to happen.

http://www.cheersandgears.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10523

It says the 6.2 is in the Denali, but at 385 hp and 400 lbs of torque. Only 18 hp away, perhaps with a Cadillac tune; we all know how easy it is to get a GM tuned.

But in the Denali only. Looks like the SS is going to get stuck with the same old 6.0 345hp.

You do know dodge and GM are working on a hybrid engine together. Maybe chevy found out about dodge's new engine during the hybrid talks? I found that out at allpar.com

And that so called dodge ram in rampages photo.....i dont know toyota grill isnt quite like that grill in the picture? But that cant be the new ram.... That truck looks small compared to the current ram.

Personallly i cant afford a big V8 at this gas price 2.92 in pittsburgh pa.[:@]

I don't like the look of the curent SS, I would consider the new GMC before the new Chevy though. I like the Fordish look the new GMCs.
