Re: 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe REVEALED!
I think it looks terrible.
It looks like a big, bland, cardboard box. It's hardly the exciting or groundbreaking design GM needs to ensure it's a bonafide home run.
Remember, GM is banking the entire company on these fullsize trucks. They should be segment leaders which includes fresh and exciting styling. As it is it looks like a giant Toyota Highlander instead of a Chevrolet Tahoe to me.
Fuel prices are skyrocketing and GM is betting the entire farm on this thing. It baffles me they wouldn't give it any sort of street presence which would help it overcome the sting of fuel costs let alone the heady competition. It doesn't have a look people will truly covet.
GM created a ground breaking look with the Equinox, and I find it hard to believe they would not adapt many of those cues to the redesigned Tahoe to set it apart. The Equinox is an interesting, unique design. The new Tahoe looks thoroughly forgettable and uninspired. If it looked like a big, refined Equinox, it would be stylishand give Chevrolet it's own unique design language much like the 1994 Ram did for Dodge trucks.
As it is it looks vanilla and Toyota makes better vanilla. Much better vanilla. Chevrolet should never have become a vanilla car brand.
