Nice! Very nice. Can't wait to see the pictures you upload Mervz.

stevecmh · 02-08-2006, 01:15 AM

Nice i just saw the pictures. Very impressive. The Ridgelines sales should be even less now. When is the Silverado shown?

chevy6.0fan · 02-08-2006, 01:19 AM

are there any more pics?

jzEllis · 02-08-2006, 01:23 AM

i thought i liked the first one but this is way better!!

suburbanfoo · 02-08-2006, 01:27 AM

hope thats a metal bumper at the rear!

Dumb_Ass_2003 · 02-08-2006, 01:32 AM

That interior colour combo is great! I think GM has finally discovered contrast!

Gm786 · 02-08-2006, 01:33 AM

Oh yeah! Now this is nice!!! Very tough looking but also looks very high quality, that's what I like!

MrMax · 02-08-2006, 01:33 AM

Nice. I just wish they had carried over the angular tail lights.

AndrewGS · 02-08-2006, 01:35 AM

It should've had a power rear glass instead of the removeable one, and there should be an offroad package with a shorter front bumper and lower body-side cladding. Otherwise, it's as I expected.

Gm786 · 02-08-2006, 01:35 AM

Very nice! I love it!

I bet it will sell even better than the current one!

Of course when it hits the market.

CadillacCTS · 02-08-2006, 01:38 AM

I'm glad I already put orders in the system for these ! GM Canada dealers have been able to order these for about 2 weeks now. I agree with the other comment that the back window should have been powered, but I guess you can't have everything. The power locking tailgate is a nice touch though.

asim · 02-08-2006, 01:42 AM

Whoa! Nice...notice how they don't release pics of the dash...probably because it'll give away the GMT-900 Trucks...

Randle2I · 02-08-2006, 01:42 AM

Looks **************** good actually. I dont know why but I like this alot more than the Suburban/Tahoe.

69Firebird400 · 02-08-2006, 01:49 AM

Looks great. Thanks for the pics, Mervz. It's funny how these official press shots have the front shoulder belts removed (at least that's what it looks like). I don't think removing them for these shots have makes the interior look better.

I wish there was some differentiation between the Avalanche and the Suburban/Tahoe style-wise other than the obvious of having a pickup bed on the back. The last generation was kind of neat that it had truck and SUV styling cues, but had a unique style all its own. Still, it is a looker, and although they removed a lot of the Avalanche's uniqueness, looking more mainstream may help sales, particularly if buyers wanted the utility it offered, but didn't want to drive such an in-your-face styling statement.

I wish the back window retracted electrically into the midgate. I guess that would have added cost, weight, and complexity, but it would have made the conversion process simpler.
